Their sound has been compared to a fusion of Talking Heads, Tame Impala, and Steely Dan, raised under the California sun. The band's creative process takes place in their house-turned-studio in Highland Park, where they self-produce all their music, utilizing an assortment of instruments scattered throughout the space.
Since the release of their single "New Biome" in 2016, Sure Sure has witnessed a rapid growth. Their subsequent releases, including the heartbreak-pop track "Friends" and the dance-infused "Hands Up Head Down," earned them acclaim and reached number one on the Hype Machine charts. Notably, they received praise from notable figures in the indie music community such as Grizzly Bear and Rostam of Vampire Weekend.
Sure Sure has established themselves as an exciting emerging band from the Eastside of Los Angeles. Their talent and captivating live shows have propelled them to perform over 150 shows in two years, sharing stages with esteemed artists like Young The Giant, Hippo Campus, Coin, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise.
Koreatown
Sure Sure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here I come, I never come around
She's out there, sleeping with the porch light on
Don't ask why, I'm up again
They don't bite, they're just my friends
Only a fool would stay in
Don't ask why
Rock 'n roll, cafeteria
Here I am I'm very serious
Dancing man, dancing till the lights come on
Don't ask why, I'm up again
They don't bite, they're just my friends
Only a fool would stay in
Don't ask why
Ooh, I'm down again
Ooh, I'm up again
Ooh, I'm down again
Don't ask why, I'm up again
They don't bite, they're just my friends
Only a fool would stay in
Don't ask why
Don't ask why
Don't ask why
Don't ask why, yeah yeah yeah
The lyrics of "Koreatown" by Sure Sure explores the nightlife in the city of Los Angeles, specifically in the Koreatown area. The song is narrated by someone who doesn't frequently visit Koreatown but seems to frequently stay up all night. The line "She's out there, sleeping with her porch light on" suggests that the singer is observing other people, including a woman who is waiting for someone to come home.
The next set of lines, "Don't ask why, I'm up again/ They don't bite, they're just my friends/ Only a fool would stay in/ Don't ask why" portrays that the singer is spending a night having fun by hanging out with friends in either a rock 'n roll or cafeteria place. The words "don't ask why" gives a sense of carefree attitude and disregard for the usual societal norms like having to explain oneself or feel guilty for staying up late.
The chorus "Ooh, I'm down again/ Ooh, I'm up again/ Ooh, I'm down again/ Don't ask why, I'm up again/ They don't bite, they're just my friends/ Only a fool would stay in/ Don't ask why" suggests that the singer is stuck in a perpetual cycle of staying out too late but having a good time with their friends.
