In the mid to late 2000’s, a new group of varied pop-punk and alternative rock musicians emerged into the music scene. It may be true that certain bands reached greater commercial heights than others (Mayday Parade was certainly a big one), but Baltimore’s The Dangerous Summer was a veritable phenomenon when they burst onto the scene with 2009’s debut full-length Reach For The Sun. Clearly influenced by the songwriting of Third Eye Blind and Jimmy Eat World, the band toured everywhere and released two more acclaimed full-lengths before calling it quits a few years ago due to issues with former guitarist Cody Payne.
However, the band recently got back together to record album #4, and re-signed to Hopeless Records as well. Given the band’s strong songwriting skills, the upcoming material is likely to be just as good as anything done previously – and according to the band’s social media accounts, the new record is finished tracking.
Officially finished all of my parts on this album. It’s in Gods hands now. Another chapter of my life engrained in the universe ??
