The band is joining with the Surfrider Foundation to advocate for protecting the oceans and the coasts. “The people who live here on the West Coast have a beautiful love and passion for the Pacific Ocean,” Farrell said. “The ocean doesn’t look right, doesn’t feel right, doesn’t surf right.

I wanted to bring attention to it through the best megaphone that I know, which is music.”
