"Summer is here and something about it just seems to take years off. You feel 18 again while biking with friends at night, swerving on and off the sidewalk down Kent Ave, or driving to Rockaway Beach with the windows down and your crappy stereo turned up. But the best part is while you're turning those years back you can shed off some of that bullshit that's been building up on your shoulders and weighing you down. Just take everything a few steps back, put on some music that you hold close, and make this summer all about you." - Matt and Kim
