    Summer Camp is a tribute to their talents, the duo having ducked the “second album syndrome” so adroitly with this release.

    All in all, Summer Camp have offered up a wholly enjoyable second effort, possessing of a homespun charm that bears more similarities to those early Myspace demos than predecessor 'Welcome To Condale'.

    This is a record with so much swagger, poise and confidence it could have been recorded by a band twice their age.

    Farewell to Condale, the ’80s teen-flick soundstage for Summer Camp’s brilliant rom-pop 2011 debut; welcome to the slick ’90s house club of their equally impressive second.

    It’s a charming record, but one likely to be appreciated to its fullest only in the dingiest times of the year, those days when you find yourself in need of a reminder of sunnier months just to keep going.

    Summer Camp is their second album and it offers another delicious slice of sun-drenched, '80s influenced alt-pop. [Nov-Dec 2013, p.98]

Adults can play this album and remember their adolescence with joy and young people can have this as their soundtrack to their ongoing life. "Summer Camp" is simply a record that anyone can identify with. Key tracks are "Crazy", "Fighters", "Phone Call" and "Pink Summer".… Full Review »
