    Episode 317: Misrepresented – Nada Surf

    Sure, Nada Surf was “Popular” for a moment. But there’s so much more to this band’s work than that 1996 song. One Nada Surf album in particular — 2005’s “The Weight is a Gift” — means a lot to Patrick. And we take a call from listener Justin Steiner. It’s all part of a weeklong series on artists whose hit song doesn’t do them justice.
