Going For Gold...
When you're as talented a songwriter as Mike Patton (that's the good Mike Patton, not the other guy who shares a name), there's always a danger that you'll release another "should be a hit" and the blogs and reviewers that love your music might overlook it in favour of recommending other songs that their readers should know about. This isn't done because the latest release is any worse than previous releases, it's merely because there's only so many times you can say that Nashville pop punk/power pop outfit Vista Blue (https://www.facebook.com/wearevistablue) are the catchiest and most consistent purveyors of that kind of music currently operating.
But even though not all releases are shouted about they are all highly recommended (as are those by offshoot projects such as Ralphie's Red Ryders https://ralphiesredryders.bandcamp.com/). Every so often though, the band will pop up again...
The new 3 track ep by Vista Blue is titled Back To The Summer Olympics and it's perfect listening on a day like today where the sun is beating down and temperatures are as hot as a Californian beach in high season. The band usually write about stuff such as seasons of the year, horror movies (watch out for a bunch of those songs coming later this year) or various sports. Back To The Summer Olympics features Vista Blues second Olympic Games themed song (this 2016 single featured the first https://wearevistablue.bandcamp.com/album/at-the-summer-olympics) and it also includes the timely It's Summertime Again which originally appeared on the Ramonescore Radio Records' summer comp (https://ramonescoreradiorecords.bandcamp.com/album/20-original-summer-hits-rcrr-c005). The other track, Hey Anthony, is about some guy who's mother's got a boombox but I've not as yet been able to work out who Anthony is! You can get the ep here as a name your price download :

It's 4 years on, it's been a long road but thanks to hard work and many sacrifices we'll make the podium. Back To The Summer Olympics...
