	 Surf teamed singer/guitarist Matthew Caws and bassist Daniel Lorca\, 
	longtime school friends who played together in various bands throughou
	t their formative years. After Lorca spent a year in Spain\, he return
	ed to New York in 1988\, where he and Caws eventually formed Because B
	ecause Because\; by 1993 the group had mutated into Nada Surf\, issuin
	g an indie label single which won them a contract with a European labe
	l. After recording an LP\, the band's original drummer quit and was re
	placed by ex-Fuzztone Ira Elliot\; the European deal then fell through
	\, but a demo copy of the completed album was passed to Ric Ocasek\, w
	ho agreed to produce the sessions if Nada Surf wished to re-record the
	 material. The trio soon signed to Elektra\, and with Ocasek at the he
	lm they cut their 1996 debut LP\, High/Low. - Jason Ankeny\, All Music
	 Guide\n The Delta Spirithttp://www.myspace.com/deltaspirithttp://www.
	deltaspirit.netThere's a scene in Murray Lerner's film ("Festival")\, 
	about the 1963 Newport Music Festival\, where Peter\, Paul and Mary ar
	e shown obliging a resounding call for an encore with the protest song
	\, "If I Had A Hammer." Peter and Paul face each other from the sides 
	and Mary faces the audience of tens of thousands\, shaking her blonde 
	hair and bearing down on a song about making change. She would\, they 
	would hammer out danger and a warning all over the land. Delta Spirit 
	have five hammers and they swing them the way Mary bobbled her head ba
	ck in '63 for her close-ups\, the way Mary sang as if her knees were o
	n fire and her mouth was brimming with more ire laced with optimism th
	an she knew what to do with. These Californians have more in common wi
	th the dirty haired\, dirty fingernailed folk groups of the nascent ye
	ars than they do any of their contemporaries. They're suited for remin
	iscent hopefulness and the gracefully youthful fusion of hostility and
	 all-encompassing passion for all things that can set a smile ablaze o
	r turn the hairs on arms and backs of necks into little beds of nails 
	at the flick of a switch. They make lists of things they like\, includ
	ing all of the people they love\, their home\, pretty girls\, desserts
	\, bodies of water\, justice and America. They believe there's still h
	ope for it and in all of the rooms contained within the hallways of th
	e band's newest offering\, "Ode To Sunshine\," they make you understan
	d that\, when it's all boiled down\, what we all ultimately live for i
	s catharsis and a fulfillment of body meeting land\, air and sea harmo
	niously. They're about bodies meeting bodies\, pressing skins to skins
	. They're about reminding you to listen more than you talk. They're ab
	out urging you to put stock in the happiness of others\, not just your
	 own. They make it obvious that we have to go somewhere to be somewher
	e. We have to feel something to really live. They sing of the soul sea
	rchers. They sing for the soul searchers. They are the soul searchers.
