Dave’s previously released album Lockdown – Seven Nations and single ‘Don’t Talk Anymore’ received acclaim from international publications NOTION Magazine and EARMILK, while he currently has over 1.5 million Spotify streams. There’s no slowing him down, as he approaches his artistry with a child-like wonder and curiosity, fuelled by passion and the ability to capture the spirit of a moment. 

‘Riders’ parallels this sentiment, and it’s very clear that Dave had an immense amount of fun crafting the track. It features beautiful surf-rock elements, luscious guitar riffs, as well as an incredibly catchy and uplifting melody. While Dave is influenced by the likes of Sting, Eurythmics and Ed Sheerean he’s successfully carved out his own trademark sound. The single captures the essence of a summer day spent at the beach with loved ones, living in the moment, appreciating the magnificent scenery and of course each other.

Dave Curl divulged: “It is a wonderful surf song that captures the spirit of surfing and has a catchy chorus. I have been a “holiday-surfer” myself for 20 years now and I am glad to call myself a “happy intermediate”:) The idea for this song came to me when I was surfing with the crew of the surfschool ‘Riders’ in October 2023 – a surf school based in the small town of El Cotillo on the north-west coast of Fuerteventura, a Canary island known for its endless coastline of waves. The song catches those beautiful moments that only surfing can bring you – after many hours of pain and frustration, ha, ha.”
