Allentown, PA | May 20, 2016 - The five-piece power-pop outfit,  Summer Scouts based in Allentown, PA are best known for their eclectic mix of pop sensibilities with a tinge of post-rock dynamics to cast a signature sound that is both anthemic and intimately heartfelt. Formed in 2013, the band set out to craft a project that not only conveyed each member's penchant for emotive instrumentals, but incorporated enticing vocal hooks that provide a fulfilling and memorable package. Fast forward a few years, Summer Scouts is thrilled to unveil their brand new album release, Furthest Reach (engineered, mixed, and mastered by Carson Slovak and Grant Macfarland of Atrium Audio), consisting of 10 undeniable hits including their brand new emotionally-rich tune, "Vessels." The song deals with the loss of a parent and confronts the realities of how this changes the home. When describing the track, the band explained it as: "Family life and norms change dramatically after the death of a parent. The home itself takes a drastic shift in its overall aura, a shift that slowly continues for years after the death, forever losing its original feeling. While the family's personalities experience alterations as well, the house itself holds the significant, glaring symbolism of this dark familial change. "Vessel" visits this feeling that no one in the family wants to face and confronts it in an emotional conversation between the singer (an affected family member) and the house."

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SUMMER SCOUTS: Summer Scouts debut independent release, The Distance (April 2014) was inspired by indie and synthpop groups like Phoenix, M83, and Grouplove which featured five synth-laden tracks (including hit single "Face Paint") littered with shimmering guitar work and enchanting vocals that quickly laid the foreground to their dense sonic aura. The EP was engineered by Jon Markson at the Gallery Recording Studio and mastered by Scott Craggs at Old Colony Mastering.

The band's sophomore EP, Deep Breath (August 2015) expands on the band's vast sonic characteristics and illustrates inspiration from bands like 30 Seconds to Mars, Paramore, and Explosions in the Sky. The EP was recorded with producers Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland at Atrium Audio in Lancaster, PA and features six dynamically-charged tracks, retaining the band's arena rock-inspired choruses, unforgettable female/male vocal melodies, and trademark post-rock influence. The single track, "Olympic White," has received considerable critical acclaim, and has seen airplay on various local radio stations.

Summer Scouts is gearing up for a brand new release in spring 2016 under Darkshore Music Group. Deep Breath and The Distance are available on iTunes and Spotify. Best known for their electric live show, Summer Scouts has shared the stage with national acts such as Echosmith, Anthony Green, The Royal Concept, Born Cages, Wild Party, The Features, Body Language, and Moving Units, to name a few.
