Surf Curse

Surf Curse is an American indie rock duo formed in 2013 by Nick Rattigan and Jacob Rubeck while both were residing in Reno, Nevada. The band is known for its surf rock-inspired sound that combines lo-fi production, energetic guitar riffs, and introspective lyrics, often evoking the nostalgia and angst of young adulthood. Their music often carries a raw, garage band aesthetic that's rooted in the traditions of classic surf culture, yet it's infused with a modern sensibility that resonates with contemporary indie music fans.

The band first gained significant attention with the release of their song "Freaks" in 2013, which became an underground hit and laid the groundwork for their growing fanbase. Over the years, Surf Curse has released several albums and EPs that have solidified their standing in the indie scene. Their more recent offerings, including singles like "Magic Hour," "Arrow," and "Self Portrait," as well as the 2019 album "Heaven Surrounds You," showcase their evolution in sound and songwriting. "Heaven Surrounds You" is a concept album of sorts, each track inspired by a different cult classic film, reflecting the band's love for cinema that often bleeds into their musical storytelling. Through touring and consistent output, Surf Curse has maintained a dedicated following, and their influence continues to grow as they define themselves as a staple within the indie rock landscape.
