Episode 115 - Surf Curse
Following the overwhelming resurgence of their 2013 single “Freaks,” on TikTok, Surf Curse found themselves in the middle of the current rock renaissance.

We got a taste on March 30, with the release of the single “Sugar.” The song is an exhilarating ride that simultaneously evokes Thin Lizzy, Born to Run era Springsteen, and Weezer when they were great in the ‘90s.
