Robin French and Vincent Giangola co-wrote the songs on "Summer of Our Content".  During the summers of 2012 and 2013. Robin would write melody's and Vincent would add lyrics, typically drawing inspiration from the events of those summers.  Robin brought the tender verse to "King", and Vincent penned the anthemic chorus.  They wrote in a basement of a brownstone in Brooklyn, NY with Vincent on acoustic guitar and Robin on his Nord stage 2 keyboard.  
Many long nights were spent working on the tunes, partying with friends at Robin's event space/home (given the moniker "Brooklyn's Backyard" - which is where Robin and Vincent met Austin Cornelio, guitarist) and often heading over to Lucky Dog for a late night hang.  
The characters and circumstances featured on the album grew out of their experiences from this time and over the years since going to school together in their youth. 
The band rehearsed together in Astoria at Vincent's home studio (where they first met Diego Panich, bassist).   The album was also recorded and mixed there.  
It was here that Robin embellished upon his original key parts with artful orchestration deftly defining the character of several tracks, including "Queens Day" which is adorned with strings and synths, "King" with its ethereal trumpet calls, and "Opposite Me" featuring harpsichord and horns.
Vincent laid down drums, acoustic guitar, percussion, lead and backing vocals, and recorded and mixed the album.  Check out "I'm Not Sorry", (written in his head at work after a long night at Robin's) a defiantly forlorn homage to Bob Dylan with a pared down arrangement standing in poignant contrast to the other songs on "Summer of Our Content".
Austin Cornelio's stellar rhythm and lead guitar chops (check out "King", "Local Bar") and the raddest bass lines ("Prison", "Believe", need we go on?) played expertly by Diego Panich bring these inspired songs to a rockin', boppin', hoppin', vibin' and sublime zenith that will remind avid listeners of The Beatles, Queen, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Bob Dylan, Harry Nillson and even Steely Dan; Some of the bands we loved growing up.
