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.

Girls
Summers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said I wasn't made right
Said I wasn't cut right
That's why I'm so lonely, mm
Can't turn a ho into a housewife
That I was just a homie, a fun girl
I can still be your day one girl, mm
I don't understand it
Is it 'cause I know what I want just like you?
'Cause I make my own money and my own rules?
Love who I want and fuck who I choose to
Don't take no shit and won't be used
But I guess that makes me undesirable
Guess that makes you so attractive, oh
Guess that makes me undesirable, oh
Guess that makes you so attractive, oh yeah
Life's unfair
Life's unfair, life's unfair, yeah
Life's unfair, yeah-yeah
Life's so unfair
The lyrics to Summer's song Girls delve deep into the issues of societal standards and how it affects individuals in their relationships. The song talks about how the singer was criticized and judged by their partner for not conforming to patriarchal gender norms. The partner, in this case, was looking for someone who could conform to societal standards of a "good" wife or partner, which led to the singer being deemed unworthy and undesirable. The lyrics "Said I wasn't made right, Said I wasn't cut right" highlight how the partner put the singer down and made them feel like they were lacking in some way. The lines "Can't turn a ho into a housewife, That I was just a homie, a fun girl" further emphasize how the singer's partner viewed them as being unable to conform to societal norms and standards.
The lyrics then move on to emphasize the singer's independence and how they don't conform to societal norms that restrict women. The lines "I make my own money and my own rules, Love who I want and fuck who I choose to, Don't take no shit and won't be used" exhibit the singer's confidence and strength in their independence. The song ultimately emphasizes how the singer's independence and strength are seen as undesirable by their partner and how this reveals the unbalanced societal gender norms.
In conclusion, the song Girls by Summer showcases the societal expectations and norms that individuals are expected to conform to in relationships, which ultimately leads to judgment and criticism by their partner. The song highlights the negative aspects of societal standards and reinforces the power and importance of independence and confidence.

Summer of 1999, I was 8 years old and my Grandma had a Mustang convertible. She took my cousins and I for a ride and blasted this song…every time I hear this it takes me right back to that day. 24 years later and she is still the coolest Grandma ❤
@shawnanderson6227

@@Kingcarbone It was legendary. Great times. I remember watching Hey Arnold. Nickelodeon was the best in the summer. Disney Channel. MTV still played music videos. I remember watching Real World and Daria. It was also a great year for movies. American Beauty, Three Kings, many more. I remember watching X Games on ESPN. Damn good times! Kids still went outside to play and ride bikes.
@Kingcarbone
@@PokrPro21 I was born in 1990, I think we were the last generation that went out and rode bikes. Life was an adventure. America still felt like things would always be great and free. It’s a time that’s never coming back unfortunately. Great decade. 💕
