As we get closer and closer to beach season (sorry, East Coast), it’s time to start thinking about shaking last year’s sand out of your shoes, and prepping a new summer playlist designed to be played with the windows down. Here to help with that are the Washington, D.C.–based surf/garage band Shark Week, who have shared the track “Why Did I Let You Go?” from their upcoming full-length debut Beach Fuzz.
It’s a nifty, sprawled-out number that features equal slices of Tom Petty and New York Dolls into the (pizza) pie of their sound, with maybe a dash of Spacemen 3 seasoning on top. Goes nice with a Tecate and a day off (or maybe a “sick day” if necessary). Remember, guys: live every week like it’s shark week.
The band have a handful of tour dates to kick off season, catch them live:
