Track of the Week Vol. 5




Nada Surf- "Popular" (Download Link)

Nada Surf is an indie rock band that has been around for a decade and a half now, first releasing their debut album High/Low in 1996, "Popular" is actually the single from that first album. They've changed a lot over the years, they started out with a much more alternative sound, and now have developed into a much lighter indie rock feel with songs such as "Always Love" coming from them in recent years. I do enjoy their newer stuff more, their last 2 albums have been released under Seattle's own Barsuk Records and one of them even being produced by Death Cab For Cutie's lead guitarist Christopher Walla.

This song, even though it was recorded in 1995, is still classic to me. Not only is it super catchy but it is easily relate able to anyone who has been through high school.
