Nada Surf is an American alternative rock / indie rock group formed in
1992. The New York band consists of Matthew Caws (guitar, vocals), Ira
Elliot (drums, backup vocals) and Daniel Lorca (bass, backup vocals).
The band is perhaps best-known for the song "Popular" from their 1996
album High/Low. (see the dedicated section below).
Each of the verses in "Popular" presents, in spoken word format, sarcastic
advice to teens. Initially offered in a calm, deadpan voice, the lyrics
gradually build Kinison-style in teen angst and rage.
The follow-up effort, The Proximity Effect, failed to garner much
attention. The band explains on their official website:
Nada Surf recorded The Proximity Effect in 1998 with Fred Maher (Luna, Lou
Reed, Matthew Sweet). It was a mighty fine record. Elektra, claiming they
"didn?t hear a single," asked the band to go back in the studio to hunt
