Passionate delivery, confessional authenticity, and deeply resonant musical storytelling define their sound. The band writes hooks that serve as soundtracks for important life moments for a diverse group of listeners spread across the globe. The audience is more family than a fanbase. The community feeling is apparent at every gig, from Slam Dunk to Riot Fest, from touring with State Champs to headlining shows. Reach for the Sun is the record that “shot them into the pop-punk pantheon” (Kerrang!). Powered by unshakeable, enduring alt-rock anthems, the Ellicott City, Maryland band’s debut album made them heroes of the Warped Tour world, all while they carved their own unique path. 2011’s War Paint was a sophomore-slump-smashing follow-up. Grantland likened the “tall and wide” riffs of 2013’s Golden Record to The Hold Steady and U2. (“Catholic Girls” even earned The Danger Summer praise from the famously discerning Pitchfork.) Alternative Press saluted The Dangerous Summer as a group that stayed true to their sound, praising the songs on their 2018 self-titled comeback album as equal parts charismatic and addictive. 2019’s Mother Nature conjured an emotional storm, with an uplifting bent. Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie appeared on the 2020 EP, All That Is Left Of The Blue Sky. Produced by Will Beasley (Turnstile, Asking Alexandria), 2022’s Coming Home ushers in a new era for TDS. The Dangerous Summer never sacrificed their unique, diverse sonic identity, one that appeals to fans of everything from Kings Of Leon and Coldplay to Jimmy Eat World and Bright Eyes. Coming Home is a triumphant summary of what The Dangerous Summer is all about, past, present, and future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReleased \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e06\/02\/2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRUDE-2741\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8054521841309\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eThe Dangerous Summer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eRude Records\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre \/ \u003cb\u003ePop \/ Rock\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Red","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40636574400573,"sku":"POP-D-8054521841309","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/cf2559dc-202f-46b6-bda6-d3b7f3015997_thumbnail_2048.webp?v=1685446574"},{"product_id":"the-dangerous-summer-gravity-indie-exclusive-blue-vinyl","title":"The Dangerous Summer - Gravity [Indie-Exclusive Blue Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Dangerous Summer signed their first record deal as high school seniors and quickly established themselves among the alt-rock world’s elite.

Moving away from the polished, straightforward pop-punk of their debut, Reach for the Sun, this record embraces a grittier, more atmospheric alternative rock sound. Produced by Paul Leavitt, it captures a band in transition, aiming for a \"wall-of-sound\" aesthetic that trades catchy, fast-paced hooks for emotional weight, slower tempos, and complex instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMusically, the album is defined by the interplay of delayed, ambient guitars and vocalist AJ Perdomo's famously raw, strained delivery. Tracks like the title song, \"War Paint,\" and fan-favorite \"Work in Progress\" showcase the band's ability to build tension, utilizing heavy percussion and vast textures to create a dense, immersive listening experience. Lyrically, the album explores themes of perseverance, interpersonal conflict, and the struggle to maintain one's identity, using the concept of \"war paint\" as a metaphor for preparing oneself to face the daily battles of life and relationships. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile it debuted at number 149 on the Billboard 200, War Paint has since cemented itself as a cult classic within the emo and post-rock communities.

Following the atmospheric experimentation of War Paint, this album leans into a driving, heavy alternative rock sound. Largely self-produced with assistance from Paul Leavitt, the record features a revised lineup-including guitarist Matt Kennedy and drummer Ben Cato-that contributed to a thicker, \"wall-of-sound\" aesthetic, moving further away from their pop-punk roots into \"anthem emo\" territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album is defined by it's raw intensity, mirroring the severe internal turmoil the band was facing during recording. Vocalist AJ Perdomo pushes his voice to the breaking point, delivering lyrics that toggle between biting self-loathing and nostalgic longing. The title itself references the Voyager Golden Records sent into space, symbolizing the band's desire to leave behind a permanent legacy. Tracks like the explosive opener \"Catholic Girls\" and the dark, driving \"Knives\" showcase this energy, blending soaring, arena-ready choruses with gritty, emotional desperation. Historically, Golden Record is viewed as the closing chapter of the band's \"original era.\" Shortly after it's release, tensions between members culminated in a messy breakup and a four-year hiatus, making this album the band's \"final goodbye\" until their 2018 reunion. Because of this context, the record is often revered by fans as a raw, unfiltered document of a band burning out in real-time, pouring every last ounce of energy into the music before falling apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb\u003e0\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e2\/27\/2026\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHOP-75281\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e790692752812\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eThe Dangerous Summer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eHopeless Records\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenre \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb\u003ePop \/ Rock\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Super D","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43011259400253,"sku":"POP-D-790692752812","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/4475369-3493902.jpg?v=1771949687"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.plaidroomrecords.com\/collections\/artist-the-dangerous-summer.oembed","provider":"Plaid Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
