Surf curse is a surf punk rock band that was created by Nick Rattigan and Jacob Rubeck. The band was formed in Reno, Nevada in 2012.

They decided to go to Los Angeles together so that they can perform at a small venue in Downtown Los Angeles called The Smell where most bands get noticed. Their fan base grew quickly and were offered an opportunity to play at the Beach Goth Festival back in October.

Their first album was released in 2013, it’s called “Buds” and not that long after they released an EP called “Sad Boys” which is impressive since they wrote an entire album in a short period of time and then an EP. Their second album was released this year, it’s called “Nothing Yet” and it’s one of the most popular albums they created so far.

Off of the “Sad Boys” EP my favorite song is “Forever Dumb." It gives you an 80's/90's vibe as if you are a teenager chilling with your friends back in the day. In the “Nothing Yet” album, I would say “Nostalgia” and “All is Lost” are good songs to listen to when you’re bored in your room or doing things indoors.

Two songs that are great to listen to from the “Buds” album are “In My Head Till I’m Dead” and “Freaks." Those are songs can bump up your mood and will make you want to rock out. I recommend listening to their music if your looking for a chill, yet an upbeat type of album to enjoy when your at home or in the car and looking for something to relax to.
