Dive into the Delightful Chaos of SAD DADS’ Debut Single ‘Surf Instructor’
Brighton’s own Sad Dads are here to shake up your playlists with their debut single, ‘Surf Instructor’. This track is a delightful burst of energy and humor, guaranteed to brighten up your day.
From the minds of Dan Noble and Owen Bullock, Sad Dads bring a fresh twist to alternative-post-punk indie. Their debut single is a playful romp through the mundane with a catchy chorus that’ll stick in your head long after the last note fades.
‘Surf Instructor’ is a cheeky ode to the absurdities of job dissatisfaction. Imagine trying to be a surf instructor when you can’t even swim—that’s the kind of self-deprecating hilarity Sad Dads deliver with this track. The song’s upbeat tempo and infectious rhythm perfectly capture the duo’s knack for mixing humor with indie-rock.
“Surf instructor is us poking fun at the mundanity of working boring jobs and never feeling good enough. Of course you’ll end up being a surf instructor if the one thing you can’t do is swim ~ that’s just good old Sod’s Law at work. It was written last summer in one afternoon of pure dads-induced genius and recorded by our dear friend Matt Pugh in his flat, and mixed by Brighton finest Bobby smiles!” – SAD DADS

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat.
As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring
characters in the game today.
