There may be nothing worse than a summer cold, but Nic McNamara (whose moniker is Summer Colds) is the rare case you actually want to catch. There’s a whiff of Green Day DNA here and an obvious yet welcoming sense of nostalgia. The only palpable limitation is a vocal delivery that can stay too even-tempered—tending to settle into a routine. Still, the glorious yet minimal electric fingerpicks in the background of “Shakeout” suggests that fully-realized evolution is on the horizon. On “Dear Life,” McNamara sings, “Kick off your shoes I got something for you,” and he sure does; stumble upon this in a dive bar and you’re happily staying for the set.
