So Long, Astoria
The Ataris
The record features a notable cover of the Don Henley song The Boys of Summer, which became a staple of the era. The lyrics document the bittersweet transition from youth to adulthood.
Produced during a peak for the pop-punk genre, the project uses high-octane guitar riffs to convey its message. It serves as a document of its time, pairing polish with introspective writing.
