Indie rock band Nata Surf first hit big on college radio in 96, with their driving guitar forward

song popular. The band had started playing together four years earlier while attending college

in Vermont, but they're perhaps best known as a New York City band, where their lead singer and

primary songwriter Matthew Cause came of age. Cause is known as a vulnerable and often

reflective songwriter, who tackles everything from social anxiety to politics in his work.

Nada Serf's latest album, Moonmere, is the band's 10th studio album, and it's every bit as

introspective and at times hard-hitting as ever. On today's episode, Bruce Hedlam talks to

Matthew Codz about growing up on Manhattan's Upper West Side in a house filled with

baroque music,

and how he thinks some of the classical instrumentation may have influenced his own writing.

Matthew also recalls the time Nada Surf backed up Joey Ramon and played a full Ramon set at Coney Island High.

Plus, he performs two songs from Nauta Surf's latest album, Moonmere, Forest Live.

Music Here's Bruce Edlam with Matthew Cause. There's a new propeller Turning up our days

There's a whirlpool spinning Digging us our graves

There's a growing menu

Of brand new mistakes.

Same old ground I've always walked on.
