Chrvns and Tim Mechling sit down with Surreal, a grunge/alt-rock band from Mount Vernon, WA, to talk band origins, musical influences, and why their name sounds like a fever dream.

They swap stories—including Tim’s unforgettable encounter with a carnie named Hatchet—and wrap things up with a completely unserious, instrument-free “performance” that somehow captures the chaotic spirit of the band perfectly. It’s part interview, part hangout, and part whatever that last segment was.

Surreal is a grunge-soaked alt-rock band from Mount Vernon, WA, crashing into the scene with heavy riffs, sharp hooks, and a whole lot of heart.

Rooted in the legacy of Northwest rock but unafraid to get weird with it, Surreal brings raw energy and offbeat charisma to every stage (and podcast couch) they land on. They’re here to remind you that rock isn’t dead—it just got a little stranger.
