There’s something about summer that changes the way we process things. Could it be the heat signaling to our brains that carefree days are ahead? Or, does it signal the promise of starting anew and discovering ourselves all over again? Summer Salt investigates both of these questions on Sequoia Moon, produced by Phil Ek (Modest Mouse, Fleet Foxes). What the band does well on this record is to channel the carefree days of sitting by the ocean and letting all the other worries melt away. For newcomers to the band, the vibes felt on this album are similar to Vacationer, Two Door Cinema Club, and JR JR. Look no further for the album that could very well be your soundtrack to this summer.

On the Boston pop-punk band Quiet Like A Thief’s debut EP, Through the Looking Glass, the band has the charm of the golden era of pop-punk, with a few unique twists to modernize their sound for the next generation of this genre’s fans. Led by vocalist Alex Kouvaris, his vocal delivery on this breezy set of songs feels like putting on that favorite t-shirt that you’ve always adored and still brings the same comfort. Quiet Like a Thief is rounded out by bassist Ryan Sweeney, the dual-guitar attack of Nick Lopardo and Mike Marziliano, and drummer Dan Marchelewski. This debut is a nice love letter to the bands who inspired their charming pop-punk sound, while still staying true to what made them the people they are today. The EP was produced by Four Year Strong’s Alan Day, and he’s able to bring out the best in this band that comes shining through the speakers.
