Summertime Dropouts are BEAT100's Newest Ultimate Musicians

BEAT100 are pleased to announce our newest Ultimate Musicians, Summertime Dropouts! The five-piece from Minneapolis, MN create an energetic combination of Punk, Pop and Rock that is reminiscent of Pop Punk supremes such as Sum 41 and Blink 182. The band impressed the BEAT100 A&R team with their catchy newest hit 'Young and Dumb' which was released on the 28th October and won the band 3 Gold Awards. As well as 'Young and Dumb' Summertime Dropouts have also won 3 Gold Awards for every song that they have uploaded to BEAT100 proving the consistency in their work.

Danny, Michael, Josh, Joe and David are mainly influenced by the likes of Fountains of Wayne, Bowling For Soup and Sum 41 and that classic Pop Punk sound can be heard in their tracks. Each song from debut album 'Rewind' creates a lively, vibrant and infectious sound that is an obvious hit with their listeners, onBEAT100 and beyond. In keeping with their energetic boy band image, Summertime Dropouts have a fun outlook on the tough parts of band life, jokingly telling BEAT100 'We have a HUGE passion for loading trailers and living out of gas stations.' In keeping with their satirical sense of humour, the band have also written a book....a book entitled '100 Things to Do With a Potato.' Born from a Twitter joke with fans, the book has now been translated into 5 languages and is currently available for free download.

Following debut album 'Rewind' and the release of the new single 'Young and Dumb', Summertime Dropouts are now preparing for the release of their brand new album 'No Diving' which is out on 2nd December this year. BEAT100 wishes the band all the best for their track in the World Music Video Chart at the moment, and of course for the release of their second album!
