The Summertimes
Self-titled debut LP
The #1 album of 2023 at Power Popaholic, and a top-ten pick at Real Gone Rocks. Jangling guitars, harmonies that go ooh and aah, and songs about Sydney Harbour, the surf and the long Australian summer.
Accolades for the debut
“If you have a hankering for old-fashioned power pop, the Summertimes are for you. My Beautiful Girl Harbour has everything you could want: jangling guitars that dovetail and counterpoint, harmonies that go ooh-ooh and aah-aah, and a charming lyric set on Sydney Harbour.”

Personnel
The Summertimes
Two songwriters, a few of the country’s most trusted players and one room in Sydney. That’s the whole roster, and it’s how we like it. Making something in this lane? We’re listening.
