Riding the Wave is a debut album by the Blanks released in 2004 on CD and as a digital download. A limited edition vinyl was released in 2021 by Enjoy the Ride Records with four tracks from their second album Worth the Weight included in Side 2.[1][2]

Overview

[edit]

Riding the Wave features both original songs by the band and cover versions of other songs, most of which were performed on the TV series Scrubs. It also features candid recordings of the cast and production team of Scrubs. Sam Lloyd was written into the script for the all 9 seasons of Scrubs. The album cover jokes that these recordings are "used without [the cast and crew's] knowledge or permission".
