The Summer Set is an American pop rock band originating from Scottsdale, Arizona, formed in 2007. The group consists of lead vocalist Brian Dales, guitarists Josh Montgomery and John Gomez, bassist Stephen Gomez, and drummer Jess Bowen. They made waves in the music scene with their upbeat, infectious sound that combines elements of rock, pop-punk, and power pop. The band's name, though evocative of sunny seasons and carefree vibes, was reportedly inspired by the last name of siblings Stephen and John Gomez, adding a personal touch to their collective identity.

Gaining recognition for their dynamic live performances and relatable lyrics, The Summer Set has come to be known for producing anthems that resonate with the trials and tribulations of young adulthood. Their discography features an array of catchy melodies and spirited choruses, with recent releases such as "What Makes You Beautiful," a cover that showcases their ability to put a distinct spin on well-known tracks, and "Under the Influence(r)," which underscores their playful and self-aware take on contemporary pop culture. Songs like "FTS (feat. Travie McCoy)" exhibit the band's knack for collaborating with other artists, while "Blossom" and "Hard Candy" further attest to their versatility and evolving sound. After a brief hiatus, The Summer Set returned with their 2016 record "Stories For Monday," demonstrating their lasting appeal and the cohesive energy that continues to draw fans into their perennial summer narrative.
