When it comes to Big Surr, all signs point to California. There's their name, of course, and then the way their songs sound sun-drenched and carefree, perfect for hitting the shore and taking to the waves of the Pacific. It all makes sense, except that the quintet hails from Nashville. That said, the band's own journey involved criss-crossing the US before landing in Tennessee. Originally from Ohio, frontwoman Helen Van took off to San Francisco after her initial stint in Nashville, then headed back to the Buckeye State before coming to settle in Music City for good. The moves only provided clarity for the band, culminating in the release of their new album In Business this March. The record is chock full of power chords and catchy lyrics fit for singing along to on a car ride to the coast.

We caught up with Van, guitarist Asher Horton and drummer Cam Sarrett about the recording process for In Business, how their song's come together, why it took so long for them to release a full-length and a kismet moment of finding a ring in the snow. Hop to the next page to read the full interview.
