| | In Music We Trust - Nada Surf: Let Go |
 | | Opening with "Blizzard of 77", the band starts out with a poignant acoustic pop song, before taking you on a journey through the post-punk and power-pop of past. | | | However, the album's true highlights are songs such as the other acoustic cut, "La Pour Ca", a pretty, soft pop song sung in French. | | | On their third full-length, and most diverse album to date, Nada Surf, free of label pressures, has recorded a beautifully, simply brilliant record in Let Go, an album that shares a title with Avril Lavigne, but nothing more. |

| | Surf rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Probably the most widely known surf melody, however, is from a song "Wipe Out" by The Surfaris. | | | While in the 1960s surf music and rock n' roll were distinct styles, associated with competing dance styles and representing distinct and competing youth cultures, the development of rock music since then has built upon both styles. | | | Surf rock is a style of music that originated in the USA that mixes elements of surf music and rock music. |

| | Amazon.com: High/Low: Music: Nada Surf |
| | Nada Surf is more reminiscient of Nirvana(although still very different overall) in that way because the songs dont really have clear cut meanings, you can interpret them in different ways, unlike a song like "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam that although a superb song, is immediately understandable and specific in its meaning. | | | I firmly believe that Nada Surf's debut album is one of the best rock albums of all time. | | | Anyway, I would reccomend this as one of the top five or ten cd's of early to mid-nineties rock music, it is musically well-crafted, great lyrically, and has the two unforgettable songs "Popular" and "Zen Brain" cushioned among 8 other great tracks. |

| | St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Surf Music |
| | The Surfaris (from inland Glendora, California) are best known for their 1962 song "Wipe Out," characterized by the hysterical laugh and high-pitched "wipe out" that opens the song. | | | The sound tracks for these movies were composed primarily of pop music with lyrics pertaining to the beach, but a new sounding music also made an appearance in these films, surf music. | | | The sound was most prominent in the early and mid-1960s, when instrumental surf music was heard accompanying television shows such as Hawaii Five-O, and vocal surf music by The Beach Boys was topping the sales charts. |

| | Bang Gang |
| | One of their friends and collaborators in the surf-version of Bang Gang was Esther Talia Casey, an aspiring actress and singer, whose voice Bardi thought was perfect for his songs and he persuaded her to keep on working with him. | | | Those songs were released on their international debut album in France in October 2000 and featured remixes by renowned French musician Kid Loco. | | | As a result Sproti signed the band to a record deal and plans were made for an album to be released in the fall of 1998. |

| | The Revised Propoky Notes |
| | The song "Surf's Up" that I sang on that documentary never came out on an album, and it was supposed to come out on the SMiLE album, and that and a couple of other songs were junked... | | | This song continues the "Americana" theme of the album. | | | Listening to the tape from the session, which does not appear on this CD, it's obvious Brian intended this song to be the opening track on the album. |

| | ROCKZONE.COM: Reviews: Dos Coyotes - "S/T EP" |
| | The best song on the album is "Tejano Cowboy." The music actual has a surf feel to it at times, which is a bonus. | | | The only downfall of this song is a pathetic attempt at remixing it at the end of the EP. | | | The album opened with "Mambo To Cabo." This song is a complete rip off of various other songs and is credited as being written by the band. |

| | Brian Wilson: Smile: Pitchfork Review |
| | That piece follows, and is more famous as the coda to the title track of 1971's Surf's Up album. | | | He dumped every Smile song and song-fragment he could find onto his laptop, took them to Wilson's house and watched as Wilson proceeded to phone no less an authority than original lyricist Van Dyke Parks when he needed help remembering lyrics. | | | "Song for Children" emerges straight out of that, though fans will recognize it as the first section of a larger piece, "Child Is Father of the Man". |

| | Pitchfork: The Beach Boys' Smile Sessions |
| | The song itself begins as a foreboding ballad without words, and leads to the more familiar chorus which ended up being placed at the end of "Surf's Up" (as heard on the 1971 LP of the same name). | | | This song later appeared on the 1969 LP The same LP features "Our Prayer" (originally just "Prayer"), which was mostly completed on October 4th (with slight additions in December). | | | There are hints (like the songs listed on the prematurely pressed LP jackets) and plenty of mixes put together by fanatics, but precious few concrete facts on which to base our guesses. |

| | Nearly all of Hall's tracks seem to reference pop genres and songs that have crested and long since disappeared below the surface. | | | This 5-song EP is a dark and sophisticatedly deranged lo-fi songwriter classic. | | | For instance, "Flip City" is a funny inspired by the '60s surf hit "Surf City" (and other surf pop), this time about an insane asylum. |

| | Nada Surf: The Weight Is a Gift: Pitchfork Review |
| | The album's essence is encapsulated on its best song, "Do It Again", which starts with funky (well, you know, for Nada Surf) bass and spiderwebs of distorted guitar. | | | On fourth album The Weight Is a Gift, Nada Surf amble into impending senescence with hope, poise, and a similarly complex relationship toward the prosaic. | | | Time has allowed Nada Surf to uncover the truth in the trite, but it has also eroded some of the band's personality. |

| | What we do not think of, when we think of Motown, is surf music, or novelty songs, or gospel hymns, or white-bread rockaballads, or supper-club crooning. | | | A novelty song called Buttered Popcorn finds the young Supremes, on their first visit to the studio, enunciating a lyric of quite breathtaking - and possibly unconscious - lubriciousness. | | | Most of these songs, in fact, are barely distinguishable from the general run of popular music being produced in America at the time. |

| | So Much Silence: Nada Surf actually played "Popular" |
| | I think it's to Nada Surf's credit that the band has created such a great catalog of songs since Popular that anyone who actually thinks of Nada as a one-hit wonder is missing out entirely on what the group has to offer. | | | That was my first experience with Nada Surf live, and I'm really impressed at how seemingly innocuous pop songs translate into these powerful anthems on stage. | | | But even more surreal was that Nada performed that blessing and curse of a song: Popular. |

| | New York Daily News - Entertainment - Rockers Nada Surf find a second wave to ride |
| | Naturally, it struck a nerve with the MTV crowd, but when that audience turned its short attention span to the next big thing and Nada Surf didn't follow up with a string of teen-friendly hits, major label Elektra Records kicked them back down to the minors. | | | The band made its splash in 1996 with its single "Popular" - the lyrics to the tongue-in-cheek song were a gimmicky guide to becoming cool in high school. | | | Nada Surf's story - getting dropped by a meanie corporate giant, finding a second wind with a grass-roots following - is a perfect rock 'n' roll fable. |

| | It was propped up by the wonderful "Blizzard of '77", a song good enough to make you want to believe in the whole album even when songs as clunky as "Blonde on Blonde" made you wonder how much songwriting gas they really had. | | | 2002's Let Go was a big step forward in Nada Surf's climb to make-up for the sins of their novelty hit past. | | | They color the rest of the album if you let them and obscure the catchiness of a lot of the songs. |

| | The band was formed by Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman in Westchester, California (a suburb of Los Angeles) in 1965, as a surf rock group called "The Crossfires". | | | Their biggest hit and signature song, "Happy Together", considered 1960s pop at its best, provided a turning point for the Turtles and for Douglas, who arranged the song for record. | | | In the beginning of 1967, a heavy touring schedule combined with a lack of recent chart success were cited by drummer Don Murray and bassist Chuck Portz, who left the group to be replaced by John Barbata and Chip Douglas, respectively. |
