Brighton’s Sad Dads burst onto the scene with their debut single "Surf Instructor," released on August 16th. Formed by best friends Dan Noble and Owen Bullock, the duo delivers a vibrant blend of alternative-post-punk and indie, drawing comparisons to early Squid. Their infectious energy and tongue-in-cheek humor have already earned them radio play on BBC Radio 6 Music and Radio X.

"Surf Instructor" is a witty, self-deprecating track that humorously explores the frustrations of mundane jobs. With bright, fuzzy guitar riffs, driving drums, and expressive vocals, the song follows the ironic tale of a surf instructor who can’t swim—a nod to the absurdities of everyday life.

The single was written in a burst of creativity and recorded with the help of friend Matt Pugh, with mixing by local talent Bobby Smiles. The accompanying music video, directed by Willow Shields, features a quirky cast from Brighton’s creative community, adding visual charm to the track.

With members from Hutch and Porchlight, Sad Dads have quickly established themselves in Brighton’s music scene. Their debut is a promising start, blending humor with sharp musicianship, making Sad Dads a band to watch.
