The Summer Set Interview
Martina Butler interviews Brian and Jess from The Summer Set
The Summer Set’s new album “LOVE LIKE THIS” available now at thesummersetband.com
After a few years of playing music as members of other bands, brothers
Stephen and John Gomez, along with longtime friend and fellow musician
Jessica Bowen, set out in the spring of 2007 with a new idea in mind,
and, with new found lead singer Brian Dales on board, they formed The
Summer Set. The Summer Set began with a simple goal: to bring its
unique and catchy brand of fun, upbeat pop rock to as many fans as
possible. Soon after the pieces fell into place, The Summer Set began
planning and writing their first EP, “Love the Love You Have,” which
was self-released in November of 2007. The band independently sold
7,000+ copies in just a few short months. With their catchy melodies
and cool, approachable, “friends next door” image, the band quickly
captured the hearts of local fans in their hometown of Phoenix and
assembled a strong and loyal fan base across the west from weekend
tours. They set their sights on doing the same throughout the rest of
the country. After shopping around to find the perfect label for the
band, The Summer Set recently signed a record deal with “The Militia
Group”. They are extremely satisfied with their decision and new
family. Shortly after that decision was made, the band set out to
record their newest EP entitled “In Color”. With the recording done,
the band – lead singer Brian Dales, bassist Stephen Gomez, guitarist
John Gomez and drummer Jess Bowen, are all eager to hit the road, play
shows and build their fan base across the country. “In Color” will be
available on iTunes June 24th and in stores later this summer.
