This album here has the distinguished honor of being the first to be featured here on Droppin' Brocs.
The band goes by The Dangerous Summer and the title of the album is Reach for the Sun. Out of the (too) many cds that I have recently purchased over the last month, this one has stuck out. That's not saying the other ones were bad its that this one is that good. TDS play a great brand of pop/punk and I'm not talking about guys in neon who could be Cyndi Lauper's children singing "my girlfriend left me for the cool guy who works at the mall" type stuff. Reach for the Sun comes in a complete package of strong lyrics and mature at that - for how relatively young they are, vocals that are true and strong (there's that word again), hooks...um yes, and the muscianship that is top notch. After spinning RFTS everyday over the last month I will hopefully be seeing these guys in July so be sure and give 'em a listen.
