Summer Years Release New Single & Video “The Picture You Paint”

Summer Years core sound is comprised of powerful rhythms, melodic guitar parts, and meaningful lyrics. With influences rooted in the classic pop-punk of bands such as Blink-182 and Jimmy Eat World, they explore a sound that bridges generations of punk rock. The San Diego pop punk outfit have now released The Picture You Paint, the second single off their upcoming EP, You Can’t Live There Forever, that was recorded in the midst of the global pandemic.

“The Picture You Paint’s overall premise is dealing with doubt. As musicians, we kinda live a life of constant Show & Tell to our fans, friends, and family. These days, especially, even the most passionate/understanding supporters & teammates can quickly lose touch of the artists’ vision/potential and basically dismiss them entirely. The smallest comment/action of doubt can be very potent and contagious (sometimes even making its way into the artists’ mind.) So the song is coming from a Relic/Lifer’s evolved mindset of understanding the bliss/oasis that comes from creating art for nobody but themselves and letting the dominoes fall as they may. The video is a compilation of the post-pandemic live shows we’ve been so honored and lucky to play and capture thanks to the help of our extremely supportive local scene.” (Summer Years’ Mike Liorti)
