Surf Dads

'Summer Vacation' (EP stream)

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Jul 18, 2016

Despite recording their latest EP in the landlocked prairie city of Regina, Surf Dads manage to channel some seriously beach-worthy musical fun on Summer Vacation.
 
Exclaim! recently premiered the lead single "Holding Back," and now we're giving you the chance to hear the rest of the EP before it's officially out next week.
 
Jangly guitars and breezy harmonies weave their way through opening cuts "Found Yourself in Thailand" (featuring a guest appearance from Dagan Harding) and "Holding Back," though "Yesterday's Clothes" takes things in a slightly heavier direction with some extra fuzzed-out garage rock vibes. It's followed by one last blast of peppy pop-infused rock'n'roll on "The Way She Does," bringing the bright, brash set of songs to a satisfying close.
 
Give Summer Vacation a spin from start to finish in the player below before it officially drops on July 29.
