Southern California’s Surfwax Ghost bring the sunshine and the speed with their new single Back to California, a fun, hook‑driven mix of surf punk and pop punk. Hailing from Long Beach, Santa Ana, and Fullerton, the trio bottle up the carefree energy of a California summer and deliver it in just a few minutes of pure, upbeat punk rock.
With jangly, reverb‑soaked guitars, punchy rhythms, and a chorus built for sing‑alongs, Back to California feels like a road trip anthem tailor‑made for blasting with the windows down. It’s playful and energetic, staying true to the band’s DIY roots while showing off a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh.
Following earlier singles like Sweet Lowrider and 666 in the 626, the track shows Surfwax Ghost doubling down on their signature style—melding surf‑inspired tones with modern pop punk urgency. The result is a song that’s as fun as it is memorable, carrying all the hallmarks of a summer punk staple.
For fans of upbeat punk with a sun‑drenched twist, Back to California is the soundtrack to your next endless summer.
