Sun Room make the 1950s faster and louder with “Cut My Hair”
Today, ringleaders and havoc seekers of SoCal’s surf-rock scene, Sun Room, release the second single from their upcoming EP, “Cut My Hair.” Quickly waltzing into overdrive, the cult-followed band’s latest offering is a rebellious, modern spin on the endless summer vibes of the 50s, all while knowing all good things come to an end. Upbeat while overwhelmingly aloof, the band can’t be phased when they’re taking things day by day – Stream.
Sun Room also announced that their At Least I Tried EP will arrive in full form on November 30. Today’s single and much of the EP were produced by one of the band’s biggest idols and influences from growing up in California, Zac Carper of FIDLAR – Presave At Least I Tried
The band’s front man Luke Asgian said, “’Cut My Hair’ is a song we’ve been jamming in the garage and at shows forever but it never felt done ‘til we recorded it this past time. We’ve played it at so many gigs and we were always changing it, but we finally landed on a version we were stoked on.”
He continues, “We took one of the classic chord progressions you’d hear in all the 1950s hits and then just played it faster and louder. Whenever we’re home in San Diego for the Summer, my hair always gets super bleached from being at the beach, and then whenever I get my first haircut after Summer, I look like a totally different person cause my hair gets way darker. The song is kinda about a summer fling that ends when Fall rolls around, the same time I usually cut my hair.
Last month, Sun Room released the title track of their upcoming EP “At Least I Tried,” along with an official video. In the Jack Revell directed cut, the band is seen trying their best to make it through a whirlwind week, featuring footage from a house show they played in San Diego for the 4th of July. The single was premiered by Paste Magazine, who said, “It’s vibrant, rowdy and a hell lot of fun” and praised by Iggy Pop on BBC 6. On November 30, Sun Room will release their At Least I Tried EP in its entirety, with an official video for “Cut My Hair” leading up.
Kicking back up for its second leg, Sun Room is out on a headline tour through the end of the month. The remaining dates will see the band joined by Sarah & the Sundays and Surf Trash. Leaving a trail of chaos as they move coast to coast, Sun Room’s tour will end in their home state of California, for a series of shows that are sure to be some of the rowdiest on the run. The band will ring in the new year with a series of Australian festival performances and their first ever headline tour of the country. See all tour information here and below.

Back in February, Sun Room released their EP Outta Their Minds, which was met with praise from AltPress, DIY, EUPHORIA, Stab Mag, and many others. Straddling the line between garage and surf rock, the meteorically rising band fused their carefree authenticity, brash vocals, rebellious 60s inspirations, and a total disregard for the “rule book” on how polished indie rock has come to be. In four songs, the band stepped out as an indisputable force and set the stage for more music to come.
ABOUT SUN ROOM
Sun Room has stepped out as Southern California's foremost surf-rock band, without ever trying to do anything other than have a good time. Luke Asgian (lead vocals & guitar), Ashton Minnich (guitar) and Max Pinamonti (bass) first came together by playing local house shows amongst the young surf community in SoCal, but after a series of viral moments, two of their singles “Crashed My Bike” and “Something That You're Missing” were included on the Netflix series Outer Banks.
Within just six months of the band forming, Sun Room scored a spot at Austin City Limits, sold out a run of headline shows across the US, supported Louis Tomlinson's North and South American tours, and joined Inhaler for another tour in Europe.
Making their way back to the US after playing in 24 different countries throughout 2022, Sun Room embarked on their first headline tour across North America, selling over 13,000 tickets from September to October 2022.
Throughout Spring 2023, Sun Room toured North America with Inhaler, as well as hosting their own headline run across the South East, playing in beach towns in Florida and ending at Shaky Knees in Atlanta. After returning to their homes in San Diego for the summer, Sun Room’s next EP At Least I Tried is set for release on November 30 while the band is on a 30+ date headline tour across North America and then heads to Australia to kick off the new year.
