With their first EP ‘If You Could Only Keep Me Alive’, The Dangerous Summer definitely found a way to many hearts. With their debut LP ‘Reach For The Sun’, the band will definitely break even more boundaries. What a bomb!
Producer Paul Leavitt, known from his work with All Time Low and Dashboard Confessional, made ‘Reach For The Sun’ an ultimate listening experience. The album is a perfect match between the sweet but raw voice of singer AJ Perdomo and the catchy tunes by the rest of the band.
The opening track of ‘Where I Want to Be’ is a song that immediately pulls you into the vibe of The Dangerous Summer. The catchy chorus and emotional riffs go straight for the heart. Another track that stands out is ‘Weathered’, third on the album. The song is a perfect mix between a passionate mellow song and the typical catchy sound of The Dangerous Summer. ‘Reach For The Sun’, the title track, gives you and old pop punk experience and ‘Never Alone’ is most definitely the perfect closure for this album. It feels like singer AJ Perdomo puts his true emotions in every single song, which gives the album lots of credibility.
The strength of ‘Reach For The Sun’ is the fact that you’re able to listen to the whole album in one piece but that the songs are also perfect to listen to individually. The instrumentation improved, compared to ‘If You Could Only Keep Me Alive’ and the track list makes a nice mixture of “loud” and “soft” songs that flow together nicely.
Reach For The Sun is most definitely the perfect album for a road trip this summer. Hope you’ll love it as much as we do!
Score: 9 out of 10
