Nada Surf

Nada Surf is an American alternative rock band that formed in 1992 in New York City. Initially gaining recognition for their 1996 hit "Popular," the band, composed of Matthew Caws (guitar, vocals), Daniel Lorca (bass, backing vocals), and Ira Elliot (drums, backing vocals), managed to outlast their early fame and develop a dedicated fanbase through persistent touring and a steady stream of albums that showcased their melodic, guitar-driven style. Amidst changes in the music industry and shifts in popular taste, Nada Surf adapted without sacrificing their core sound, evident in their thoughtful lyrics and the emotive clarity of Caws’ lead vocals.

Throughout their career, Nada Surf released a series of well-received albums, including their critically acclaimed "Let Go" (2002), which helped solidify their place in the indie rock landscape. In recent years the band has continued to produce a succession of nuanced records like "You Know Who You Are" (2016) and "Never Not Together" (2020), the latter receiving an expanded deluxe edition. Their latest releases encompass a mix of poignant lyrics, as is evident in "Song for Congress," live orchestral arrangements in "Peaceful Ghosts (Live) [feat. Babelsberg Film Orchestra]," and reworkings of past works like "Popular (Rerecorded)." Nada Surf's enduring appeal lies in their ability to evolve while maintaining the earnest, introspective songwriting that has brought them acclaim over the years.
