Summer Fling

Release Date: May 20, 2003

Summer Fling, The Red Hot Valentines' second album, was recorded in January 2003 at Mark Rubel's Pogo Studios (Hum, Shiner) in Champaign. The album perfectly captures the band's blend of power-pop with an authenticity previously witnessed only through its live performances.

The "notebook" packaging theme was conceptualized by Gregg Bernstein (art designer for Braid, Volcano, I'm Still Excited!!, Aloha) at Hydrafuse. All of the photos inside were taken by the band with a Polaroid i-zone that the Polyvinyl staff picked up at Target for $20.

Reviews

  • Jammed tight with Cars-likesynth beats and crunchy guitar licks for a delectable mix of punk and pop.

    - All Music Guide
  • There's so much energy in this album, it'sall you can do but keep from dancing like a spaz.

    - Heckler
  • An appropriate title for this one, as it issimply oozing with the sort of carefree energy you would associate withcruising down the street with the windows down on the way to pick up yourfriends and go cause some trouble.

    - GhettoBlaster
  • If they can come up with tunes this good soearly in their career, just picture what the future will hold.
