A podcast TEN YEARS in the making...

'Surf Dudes with Attitude' is the #1 podcast about the 90's teen sitcom "California Dreams". Okay, so, we are also the only podcast of its kind but let's not quibble! The show centered around a high school band as they navigate life, friendship and songwriting. Their choices are questionable, their fashion is exquisite, and their music is... well... we will let you be the judges of that. It's dated, sometimes cringey but also surprisingly wholesome?

Peat Rains and Zac Fable, two career musicians will meticulously and tirelessly break down all 78 episodes of this show. Peat was inspired at a young age to become a musician, partly because of California Dreams! Zac, well, he had never heard of it before being bullied onto the podcast. We'll be analyzing all of their musical business decisions from an industry standpoint. We'll be covering the songs and dissecting them based on music theory and our objectionable taste. Special guests incoming. Patreon/Discord also set up for bonus content including reviews of other band-centric TV and film, commentaries and Q&As.

Neither of us surf and we're actually quite agreeable people. Peat can't sing and Zac was homeschooled so he has no foundational understanding of how a high school operates. We're completely qualified here.

We have a full-on Battle Royale this week on Surf Dudes with Attitude. The Dreams are set to play the annual Sharkey's Battle of the Bands against their bitter rivals, Bradley and the Billionaires. The band hatches a scheme to play matchmaker with Matt and the lead judge, Angela, in hopes to win. But, they are from vastly different backgrounds. HOW COULD THIS EVER WORK? Matt is the least offensive rock star and Angela had a full-on Laney Boggs reverse makeover to make her seem like a nerd.

Is this corruption? Is this immoral? How does this band play a full set without amps!? We'll answer this and many more inconsistencies. See you at Sharkey's!
