The Boys of Summer are and always have been four best friends making music because we love it. We are four-piece rock band from the suburbs of Detroit that have finally found ourselves. After our whole lives spent on making music and being in bands we have found our voice. We have figured out the message that we want to convey to all of you, and the story we want to tell.
In today’s industry things are really hard, money rules everything, and where we are from times are really hard. We are going to be committed to creating an environment, a family, where we can all connect. We have written and recorded 12 songs about certain times in our lives that we all want to share with you. Hopefully through this outlet online, as well as more in the future, you all can send us comments, messages about anything you’d like to hear from us or just to share stories with us. We hope that this record can evoke every emotion possible. You can play a song with the windows down driving around town with your friends, or when your having a bad day just sitting in your room. We want to share those times with all of you. Hopefully our relationship can go beyond just music. We all have big dreams, but we all need each other to make them come true.
The Boys Of Summer are: Kyle Mueller-Drums / Mark Warren – Bass / Jon-Paul Bakaric - Guitar and Vocals / Scab – Guitar and Vocals
