With it's debut EP, IN COLOR, the Summer Set debuted a sound that combined the sunshiney melodicism of indie pop with the yearning earnestness and edge of emo and production values befitting big-budget mainstream teen-pop records. The Arizona-based quartet's first full-length, LOVE LIKE THIS, makes good on the promise of its predecessor, delivering an even slicker, more sharply crafted brand of radio-ready rock that lies somewhere in between Fall Out Boy and the Jonas Brothers. Songs such as "Girls Freak Me Out" and "Punch Drunk Love" address late-aughts youth culture head-on, matching slang of the day and peppy, irresistible hooks with enough pounding drums, thrashing guitars, and rock energy to please both tweens and older pop-inclined music fans alike.
