Nada Surf

Nada Surf is an American alternative rock band known for their consistent musical output and dedicated fanbase across decades. After the widespread attention generated by their 1996 debut album High/Low, which featured the international hit single ‘Popular’ and was produced by Ric Ocasek of The Cars, Nada Surf solidified their position in the alternative rock landscape. The band’s core lineup was established in 1995 with the addition of drummer Ira Elliot, joining founders Matthew Caws (guitar, vocals) and Daniel Lorca (bass, backing vocals), who formed the group in 1992. The immediate success of ‘Popular’ propelled the band into extensive touring cycles, earning them a dedicated fanbase and global recognition.

In 2018, Nada Surf marked the 15th anniversary of Let Go by releasing the special charity album Standing at the Gates: The Songs of Nada Surf’s Let Go. This unique project showcased various artists covering tracks from the seminal album and successfully raised funds for two impactful organizations: the ACLU and The Pablove Foundation. The band further expanded their discography with their ninth studio album, Never Not Together, which was released in 2020, continuing to receive positive reception from critics and fans alike. Maintaining their impressive momentum, Nada Surf remains actively engaged in both recording and extensive touring, consistently connecting with audiences worldwide.

Their highly anticipated tenth studio album, Moon Mirror, is scheduled for release in September 2024, underscoring their ongoing creative drive and their sustained impact within the alternative music scene for over three decades.
