lyrics

His name is Gregor Dobson
You may have heard of him
He used to be a good friend of ours,
Until he decided to surf bigger waves...

It started with an idea,
A surf punk band to change the world,
We were sitting home, on our phones
When I read his message, I straight up hurled

Sucks for him 'cause he can't escape
The surf will chase him 'till his final days
The lad can run, but he cannot hide
Or he will be swept away by the tide

We told him that this was a mistake,
But our advice he would not take
A band without a bassist, what would we do?
I guess we'll have to find someone new

Sucks for him 'cause he can't escape
The surf will chase him 'till his final days
The lad can run, but he cannot hide
Or he will be swept away by the tide

The night we saw this band play for the first time was the night we really discovered how much we ourselves wanted to make music for people. This band has really inspired us, please check them out. Surf Lads

Fur Sure EP
by The Frights

This band is the reason most of our songs sound the way they sound. We've drawn a lot of inspiration from these surfers; they taught us to turn our reverb pedals all the way up. Surf Lads
