The Fairlanes

**The Fairlanes** are a San Diego-based surf/garage rock duo made up of Adam (vocals/guitar) and Grant (drums), who’ve been revving up retro vibes since forming in 2011. Known for their stripped-down, high-energy sound that blends sunny surf riffs with gritty punk undertones, they’ve become a staple of Southern California’s DIY scene. Their discography—including releases like *The Monumento EP* (2016) and *Welcome to Nowhere* (2019)—mixes cheeky humor with themes of love, rebellion, and late-night drives, all delivered via lo-fi recordings that feel straight out of a 1960s beach party. Recent drops like 2020’s *Songs For Cruising* and *Bite Your Tongue* lean into their signature "windows-down" energy, perfect for fans of surfy nostalgia with a scrappy modern edge.
