The trick to becoming popular and staying so has been one that has eluded Nada Surf. MTV championed them early in their career, 12 years ago, but since that zenith they have made the slow inexorable descent towards to relative obscurity (they still maintain a high profile in alternative circles mind). I guess you could argue that at least they touched the hand of success but hearing songs as wonderfully conceived (and radio friendly to boot) as ‘I Like What You Say’ you got to feel that the world is truly missing out. Lucky for us that the band have not let the high/low’s get to them, their independent streak and persistence should ensure that we their loyal servants will never let them go. Their gift is a weight whose burden will be forever shared. Shut up me, just treasure this band. KD
