Grow up and Be Surf Dads

Regina, Saskatchewan [SK is one of the giant provinces – in Canada – just north of Montana and North Dakota, in between Alberta (where Calgary is) and Manitoba (where Winnipeg is, like the Winnipeg Jets)] is the home town of dynamic duo Surf Dads, who have a new 4 track EP out called Summer Vacation. Throughout their new EP, Surf Dads echo little bits of Wavves (“Found Yourself in Thailand”), Japandroids (“The Way She Does”), and other genre stalwarts like Local H and Weezer. Regina (blossoming population of 250k) is an odd place to find your love of surf, but with one member living in Cali, and the other with his feet firmly rooted in the Canuck life, they’ve managed to pump out three EPs while basically not living even remotely near one other, let alone practicing, or anything – kinda like The Postal Service, except not famous, and with real instruments. Maybe one of them is the “surf” and the other is the “dads”…? Beats me. Or maybe they are the co-presidents of the Greater Regina Surfing Club and organize yearly trips to different locales like Costa Rica to catch waves, kinda like how Florida has so many snow ski club while being a zombie and gator infested swampland. With little to no info available I can invent just about whatever I want, but I bet one of those is pretty close to being right. Here are all four tracks from the Surf Dads EP Summer Vacation ripe for outside summertimeyness.

Feli Listens to all

Here’s exactly one hour of tunes for you so I can “fit in.” :-/ Most all the bands I included are worth investigating per their particular sound on their own. I’m a belieber in bands with good solid albums. Something dependable start to finish. Something you can count on. I’m so tired of starting relationships with these “bands” (if you can even call them that) while they lead me on, tease me with scintillating tunes, only for them to sputter away and “ghost” on me after 3 and a half minutes of passion and NEVER call me back… I thought we were having a good time? Why don’t you wanna keep having good times? Why are things always soo complicated? Oh you’re busy?! Ya sure… I see you posting on social media… but no no… I’m suuuure you’re swamped! Umm… so ya, kinda got distracted there. Anyways, the vast majority of these duders are included not necessarily because of that particular song, but because they had an album worth checking out. Bands that only have one good song are, well, boring… For anyone that knows me, you know that I prefer stallions, a big strong beast for studding purposes; none of this one trick pony bologna. So ya, I made this playlist basically as an abridged version of “2015 albums you should check out” but since that wasn’t what I was asked to do, I made you a playlist instead.

Even so, here are the albums to peruse in order of playlist appearance.

(If you a 2015 list of what “I” wanna hear all the time, hmu and I’ll send you a list of like 20 punk rock jams. Hope that’s chill with you.)
