Look, we all love Colony House. The Tennessee quartet have churned out album after album of great, hook-y pop rock mixed with some very soft ballads. But it’s possible they’ve never released anything quite as fun as their brand new single “Landlocked Surf Rock.” The appropriately named jam comes in just under a way-too-short two minutes, and is a tribute to the Southern summers this band was raised in, yelping about blue jeans, motorcycles, neon lights, karaoke bars and, yes, telling people about Jesus. It’ll be irresistible to any bonafide Nashvillian, along with pretty much any red-blooded lover of rock and roll.
“We’ve always struggled to put a label on Colony House or at least be defined by one singular genre… That was until we uncovered this one minute and fifty-four-second little ditty,” frontman Caleb Chapman said in a press release. “With half of us being Nashville natives and all of us being Tennessee natives, we wanted to write a love letter to our hometown and all of its charm and all of its absurdities. ‘Landlocked Surf Rock’ is our ‘Sweet Home Alabama’… There, I said it.” He’s right and he should sat it!
