The Second Summer: Undertow

Chicago based power pop band The Second Summer are not afraid to sound big and emotional on their new album, undertow. With plenty of life experience they have the confidence - and more importantly, the ability - to capture the highs and lows they have met along the way. It gets a bit crowded sometimes, but the passion is real. It is a tug of war between vocals and guitars, with the rhythm section keeping it grounded with a tight but swinging backbeat.

Apparently, in some parts of the Windy City the Seventies never ended. The members of The Second Summer are keeping the flame of catchy melodic pop alive. Patrons of the Montrose Saloon may consider themselves lucky to hear them live on a regular basis, tearing it up on stage. Few things can beat the joy of hearing a band playing their hearts out for an appreciative audience. Go say "hi", and buy them a drink.
