This article is about a Norwegian band. For information about the Pixies album, see Surfer Rosa.

Surferosa are a rock band from Norway, known for their distinct costumes and trashy electrified pop music. Their musical style is primarily rock with punk/New Wave and dance music influences. Most songs make integrated use of synthesizers, and Mariann provides a spunky vocal lead. The group is often compared to New Wave acts such as Blondie.

They became popular in Norway when they won a tour and studio recording in a band contest called So What. They have received several positive critical reviews. Surferosa have completed tours in Asia, America, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavia. They have made the soundtrack for the movie Bare Bea. Their song, Royal Uniform from the album The Force was used on the soundtrack for the computer/video game FIFA 2007 released by Electronic Arts.

The name Surferosa is taken from a record by Pixies.
