I never quite got it about what kind of band Nada Surf really are, they’ve been around for at least a decade, a name I would associate with summery west coast powerpop (naturally enough).
And sure enough, here they are sounding very much, really a lot like the late Tom Petty, whom many people had something of a regard for, to a point where I began hearing Petty’s nasal tones instead of Matthew Caw’s vocal throughout ‘Something I Should Do’, even during the lengthy spoken word part.
