Bryce Avary, aka The Rocket Summer, wrote, recorded, and produced his first full length album Calendar Days in 2003, at the age of 20. Since then, he has released six additional full length albums, as well as numerous EPs, B-sides, and singles. For any fan of pop-punk or pop-rock, The Rocket Summer is a must-listen. Avary's music is melodic, powerful, catchy, and full of metaphors about faith, love, and the beauty to be found in life's struggles. Even Harry Styles is a fan of The Rocket Summer, so clearly you should be too! On this episode, I take you album by album, sharing my favorite songs and explaining what they mean and why I think they deserve your attention. Rock on, friends.
