It’s been a long time coming and seems a distant memory. Can anyone recall long, hot, summers nights? Long, hot,
….very very hot….. in fact steaming, summers nights? The good news is – they are right here.
SUMMERS are bridging the gap between the iconic stadium rock legends of old and the current new wave of music,taking a 1980’s born genre and firmly stamping their own sound all over it. With an exciting stage show and adrenaline fuelled melodic rock songs, SUMMERS – the charismatic new British bad boys of rock are raising temperatures across the UK.
Originating from the South Coast of England, SUMMERS always leave their audiences on a high with a head full of
songs. Their melodies are intelligently crafted with twin guitar led riffs. The lyrics are catchy and memorable.
The band was formed in late 2007 by brothers Crash & Ricky Summers. During their college years, guitarist Jason
Sepala & lead vocalist Crash became friends, unaware of each other’s love for rock music. It wasn’t until years
later whilst trying to form the band that Jase’s guitar playing talent became apparent.
Whilst gigging, the trio were approached by producer Clyde Ward. Clyde had previously worked with artists such as Eric Clapton, Lenny Kravitz, George Michael and Sting.
In early 2008, a friend of Clyde’s had just returned from playing drums in Sweden with the Cockney Rejects and
overheard a SUMMERS demo whilst in the studio. Instantly impressed by the style of music, drummer Andy Pope met with the boys during a recording session resulting in the band scoring a very experienced drummer! In his spare time, bassist Ricky produced for local musicians and among these was a very promising young guitarist Sam Hickling.
Impressed by the musicianship that Sam displayed, Ricky approached and drafted Sam into SUMMERS, thus completing the line-up.
Clyde’s experience brought a new dynamic to the table with song-writing collaborations on strong anthemic songs, direction, input on the stage show, lighting and visual effects. He combined everything into a harder hitting production and sound which has catapulted the band into another league.
It didn’t take long for word to spread in the UK about SUMMERS melodic songs and rich vocal harmonies. Suddenly the band were playing to full venues all along the South Coast. With the demand as such, the band began recording their debut album in Cyprus which is due for completion in March 2010.
SUMMERS are at their best when they’re on the move and that’s truer now than ever before. The pending debut album shows their commitment to hard-hitting rock & roll without compromise whilst retaining their indelible signature sound.
The boys are poised ready for some serious gigging and are about to unleash a series of tour dates.
Closely following their every step will be the BBC Access All Areas production team who will be filming the band for their forthcoming television show.
Come and catch the hottest new emerging Act of the year at a gig near you.

In "Billy," Donna Summer sings about a rocky relationship that is plagued with misunderstandings and hurtful moments. The song opens with Summer questioning why her partner won't accept her for who she is all the time, despite professing love for her. She then confronts him about leaving her and taking away her peace of mind. Throughout the song, Summer begs Billy to take her call and address their issues so they can work on fixing things. She pleads that they shouldn't let lies and misunderstandings tear them apart, and that they must realize that there will never be another person as perfect for them as each other.
It's clear from the lyrics that Summer is emotionally invested in this relationship and desperately wants it to work out. She doesn't want to be seen as a fool for loving Billy and believes that they can overcome these obstacles if they work at it. This is a relatable sentiment for many people who have been in a rocky relationship and know the pain of trying to make things work with someone who often hurts them.

You said you loved me
You expressed feelings of love towards me
Then why won't you let me
However, you are still trying to control and change me
Be who i am all of the time
I just want to be myself without any restrictions
Said you wouldn't hurt me
You promised that you would never cause me pain

Yet you still left me, causing emotional distress

Resulting in my mind being unsettled and disturbed

Stephen King.
I'm reading 'On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft' again right now.
I have a question: how in the world did you write 'The Stand'?
For me it holds a place right up there with 'East of Eden'.
Fast moving, jaw dropping, and my favorite subject...the choice of being good or evil.
How long did it take you to finish writing it?
What a story...I was really glad to find that the movie stayed true to the book.
I read a lot and my 'keepers' i read over again years later (I've read James Herriot's series so much it's practically committed to memory) and find that it's never a waste of time to revisit an old friend that happens to be a good book.
Glad you're well...your hair's just fine.

I just read it and of course it was amazing!!! I was always a romance/feel good book reader as a young girl. My brother gave me a copy of the Stand and begged me to read it. One day desperate for something to read I picked it up! Oh my I have now read every book Mr. King has written! Hours and hours of pleasure! Bless his soul 🙏❤️
