FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Southern Oregon Indie Rock Band Summer Colds Releases Sophomore Album "Missing Out" on Halloween 2025
Indie rock/power pop outfit Summer Colds, fronted by Nic McNamara, has released their highly anticipated second album, Missing Out, on October 31, 2025. The sophomore effort marks a bold evolution for the Southern Oregon-based band, delivering a harder, denser, and more textured sound infused with grungy garage rock, emo exhilaration, and razor-sharp lyrical wit.
Written and recorded during the pandemic years, Missing Out builds on the fuzzy pop sensibilities and melancholic poetry of the band's 2019 debut, Here Comes Nothing. Tracks like the standout single "Dear Life" blend distorted alt-rock nostalgia with pop-punk energy, exploring themes of ennui, disillusionment, and personal reflection with hooks that resonate deeply.
"Summer Colds has crafted an album that feels both intensely personal and universally relatable.” "These songs capture the isolation and introspection of recent years, turning it into something raw and cathartic."
Missing Out is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp.
