The Summers

[Glen]

This to me sounds pretty awesome............perfect sounding pop/rock.

What's with the 80 year old on the far right of the photo?

 

Wow mate, killer find. 'Too late' reminds me of Wildstreet (or of course Def Leppard) and that seems to be their style. Man, this is awesome - how good is 'Superhero??!!' Do they have a physical CD?

 

Another awful band name, but absolutely killer music. 'Shot in the dark' is great too... they probably all are.

Yeah, no cd yet, but looks imminent. The first single is available as a digital download via itunes.

 

There are a couple of songs on you tube me thinks........

[Glen]

Here you go......some sound like demos....still sounds pretty cool. I want this.

Yeah, they sound fine, very much like a modern Def Leppard. Songs are reasonable, but is there anything new here? Is there an original tune? I'm not too sure. I thought 'Shot In The Dark' was nice, but the other songs just seemed like I'd heard it all before.

And who, in 2011, has recorded something new?

 

Mate, it had all been said and done before back in 1986 but it doesn't mean there haven't been a million bands since that have still made it worthwhile.

Fair enough, I just thought the tunes here were really basic and generic, moreso than a lot of others. It's perfectly listenable, but would get boring very quickly imo.

Impossible to tell from short samples....but didnt sound boring to me. Just great pop/rock.

Looks very low-budget, but I'll give it a go.

[Nightrain]

Any good ?

some videos maybe, Stef ?

[Geoff]

Doods, these guys are worth being excited about. Talk about a f*ck around to get an album out there, though. These guys have been around for about 5 years now and every song I've randomly heard so far has been fantastic. Hopefully it all comes together for them and this CD is as fantastic as it should be - a real great 80's hard rock sound with a healthy dose of Def Leppard influence. It should be a good 'un.

There's some in the posts above, scallop.

"What IS original? I'm not going to bang two badger carcasses together and recite poetry and say, 'Hey, here's the new thing....'" - Chris Robinson, on his band The Black Crowes being dismissed as Aerosmith and Faces clones, 1991
