Dagan Harding

Dagan Harding Band's (Feat. Surf Dad's) second EP, I Learned How, is out on grind central records and double lunch productions June 15, 2018. Surf Dad's, contribute both musicality and tasteful guitar melodies as well as the driving drums that they have become known for. Jon Wolfond (blue youth) holds down impressive bass lines on the EP, that are very colourful and thick but never out do or over shadow the song. Dagan's matter of fact lyrics are surprisingly refreshing, and the song arrangements have many great and memorable hooks. The album is out June 15, 2018 on all platforms. Physical Cassettes can be ordered at www.daganhardingband.bandcamp.com.
