Chosen by Monk
These San Diego surf punks prove that it is possible to #BurnTheTimeAway between album releases with this retrospective first taste of their upcoming third full-lengther – their first in four years and only their third in more than a decade!
Speaking about the song and its origins, frontman and songwriter Suri Sherman told us:
[It] was written about life with our crew in Goleta, where I grew up—capturing the duality of living the dream while also facing the tragedy that can come with life on the edge, but experiencing all of it together.
The chorus is inspired by what it feels like to be a bandleader: you’re 100 per cent committed to the dream no matter what, and sometimes you’re carrying it alone—but you’d way rather be doing it with everyone beside you.
I’m also incredibly fortunate to have awesome, committed, and talented bandmates, so Taylor [Wagner – drums], Caleb [Adkins – guitar/vocals] and Matt [Lappin – bass] deserve major props. I’m definitely not doing it alone.
