Love Is for the Rich

Love Is for the Rich (2007) is Surrogate's debut record from Tooth & Nail Records. It was recorded in singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Chris Keene's, bedroom and a friend's warehouse in Chico, California after his and drummer Jordan Mallory's split from the band Number One Gun to move on from the "wall of sound, constantly overdriven" style they played.
