Mayday Parade’s Alex Garcia says:
For most of my grownup life, I’ve related the summer time with music festivals; their open-air venues, the combination of tour bus exhaust and warmth radiating off asphalt, and, in fact, listening to my favourite music at twilight, lit by the glint of fireflies – Sad Summer epitomizes this expertise. It additionally serves as a unifying drive in our music scene, a spot for each emo child to collect round, join with fellow followers, and actually be themselves. With this in thoughts, it’s a deep honor to shut Sad Summer; the music we’ve poured our hearts and souls into changing into an indelible a part of these heat summer time nights, the place mates and reminiscences are made.
The Maine’s John O’Callaghan provides:
Quite a bit can change in 4 summers. And for me, so much has. But a relentless all through the peaks and valleys of the final 4 summers has been my love for taking part in music loudly, seeing previous faces and making new amigos. This marks the fifth anniversary of the Sad Summer Festival, and I couldn’t dream up a greater place to tear gigs and see smiling folks lose their heads. But the true query at hand is…Corn canines or nah?
