Year 3, Day 292

Hi. Today's song is Northern Lights by The Dangerous Summer.


This band is from Maryland and formed in 2006 while the guys were still in high school. The name is actually an ode to a book by Ernest Hemingway. The Dangerous Summer novel is actually an edited version of a 75,000-word manuscript Hemingway wrote at the end of the 50's as an assignment from LIFE Magazine. It's about a bullfighter rivalry and is considered Hemingway's last book. After they self released an EP, they got signed to record label in 2007. They had their pick of record labels since the EP attracted so many, but eight months into their career Hopeless Records became their home. With the label the band re released the EP with new tracks and a new title. The debut album came out in 2009, which is the album this song is from, and did ridiculously well. They released their second album as well as an acoustic version of the first album in 2011. A third album was released in 2013, but in 2014 they disbanded because of tension and also a need to focus on family. Regardless you should check out the music, and if you're really interested you can look into the book.

Peace.
