Cold Summer: The A Team Interview
Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England
Interview with the Band
August 15, 2012
By Nicole Hanratty
The Cold Summer "Wake" EP was released on iTunes August 6th, 2012 (which you can also listen to at the Cold Summer website). Play it through and you'll hear what I heard when I first listened. Something special is going with this post hardcore band. The music they are writing compels you to move in rhythm with the beat, their lyrics are full of thoughtful prose and yet this England based band has given a different voice to post hardcore punk. Read the COLD SUMMER INTERVIEW
SONG OF THE WEEK:
September 6, 2012
Train “Drive By”
It’s so up beat this song tricks you into thinking that all one night stands have a happy ending. (Wait! They don’t?) Very pop punk and comical in its lyrical style, Train released “Drive By” in January of this year. Every time the lyrics, “There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you - And a little time to get my head together too,” are sung out the cleverness of this song strikes. It’s always a welcome play on the radio or iPod playlist and has listeners bopping and singing along, “Oh I swear to you!” Video and more ---> SONG OF THE WEEK
