Nada Surf is an American alternative rock group formed in 1992. The New York band consists of Matthew Caws (guitar, vocals), Ira Elliot (drums, vocals) and Daniel Lorca (bass, vocals).
The band is best known for the song "Popular" from their 1996 album High/Low. The song reached #11 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and propelled the album to #63 on the Billboard 200. Each of the verses in "Popular" are extracted from the 1964 guide "Penny's Guide to Teen-Age Charm and Popularity" by former teen television actress Gloria Winters - and is sarcastically spoken - initially in a calm, deadpan voice that gradually builds Kinison-style in teen angst and rage.
The follow-up effort, The Proximity Effect, failed to garner much attention. The band explains on their official website:
Nada Surf recorded The Proximity Effect in 1998 with Fred Maher (Luna, Lou Reed, Matthew Sweet). It was a mighty fine record. Elektra [now part of Atlantic], claiming they "didn't hear a single," asked the band to go back in the studio to hunt for one. As this was months after they'd handed the record in, the band refused and were dropped. It's pretty safe to say, though, that Elektra didn't appear to be "listening" very hard. The Proximity Effect was released as scheduled in Europe. Critics loved it and fans bought it. Elektra still didn't care, but the band still did. So after wrestling the rights back, Nada Surf released The Proximity Effect stateside in 2000 on their own label, MarDev Records, and toured accordingly...
After a three-year wait, the group released Let Go through Barsuk Records to positive reviews. The song "Inside of Love" received some airplay and even reached #73 in the United Kingdom, a feat which neither "Popular" nor the other two previously released singles from Let Go achieved. On the strength of the single, the album reached #31 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart.
The band's fourth album, The Weight Is a Gift, was released in Germany on September 5, 2005, by City Slang Records, in Japan/Australia September 12th and in the US September 13th by Barsuk, and in the rest of Europe September 19th by V2/City Slang. It was produced by Chris Walla of the band Death Cab for Cutie, Louie Lino and Nada Surf. The album's lead single is "Always Love."
In 2008, Lucky was released. In 2010 the band returned to the scene triumphantly with the cover-album If I Had a Hi-Fi, revealing a diversity in source material whilst re-moulding it into trademark Nada Surf songs.
The band released "The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy" in January 2012.

Started listening to them in ‘96… great underrated band. Bass sounds amazing on this one

[@WadeWalker7]

This is probably my favorite live performance video ever. That bass !!!

[@cuperexeo]

literally one of my all time favorite songs. probably in my top 5.

[@TheKelokelo]

Karen Valencia agree! I even named muy first son after it

[@NikhilKumar279]

Such an underrated band...

[@jeanfloch3131]

fantastic bassline and great song!

[@tdsims1963]

I think "Killian's Red" is one of their "darkest" songs. There is something immense about the way it is structured and the lyrics are moody and actually kind of lonely. Such a wonderful song.

[@davebest2001]

This is my favourite live song of theirs

[@fussreise]

Fucking love this band since 97

[@TheKelokelo]

Muy favorite song ever, i even named muy son after it!!!

[@cjwilliams1124]

In 2003/2004 I discovered Nada Surf, Interpol, and my favorite band - Saves the Day released my all time favorite album, In Reverie. I don't know why it was such a magic time for Rock and Roll but I'd do anything to go back.

[@cjwilliams1124]

Not to mention Say Anything made the masterpiece of Is a Real Boy... Something magic was afoot.

[@bandwagonDan]

[@nick33419]

[@JMMJ4791]

The outro is so big !

[@jeanfloch3131]

it's funny to see Daniel always smoke on this song ;)

[@robertmcafee4680]

Is Daniel still in this band ? I have seen other footage without him in it

[@kurtttttttt]

Did he say the song was number 1 on "Beetlejuice" at the beginning? Does anyone know what that means? Was Beetlejuice a music review magazine or something? I can't find it online.

[@justinbracciale6347]

Pretty sure it was a joke.

[@kurtttttttt]

Justin Bracciale what’s the joke?

[@armintamzarian8130]

This is how a bass should play live

[@phenixreturns]

[@sketchlehem]

[@oasisnole]
