“There's a common theme on my records," says Bryce Avary, the frontman, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist behind The Rocket Summer. "It's about wanting to do greater things for the world, and not just trying to be a rock'n'roll star. I have my own issues, of course, but these songs are about overcoming that and wanting to do something greater with your life." Talk with Avary for even five minutes and you'll discover a young man who is the complete opposite of today's rock star. He's confident, but humble. Do You Feel, his third full-length record and first major label release, is similar to his previous work in that he wrote and performed the entire album himself. It's sunny pop, punk rock guitars and a cavalcade of pianos. - EMI
