The Summer Obsession was a punk band from Jacksonville, Florida & Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. The band originally started in the summer of 2004 by Lucian Walker & Allan 'Fin' Leavell. They went through a gauntlet of members until they reached their final bass & drum positions in the form of Chris 'Christ' Miller, and former Good Charlotte drummer Chris Wilson. The band has previously been on tour with bands such as Cartel, Mya, The Click Five, Story Of the Year, Saosin, Permanent Me, Hit the Lights, Houston Calls, Monty Are I, Against All Authority, Whole Wheat Bread, Plain White T's, New Years Day and many more. They classified themselves as "feel good rockers". Two Types Of People was the first CD released by the 2member electronic punk outfit, which featured a cover of Tom Petty's Free Fallin'. This song can be obtained from Limewire as well as the rest of that album. This Is Where You Belong is their debut major label album released in August 2006 on Virgin Records. They appeared on Cartoon Network's Fridays and performed the songs Melt the Sugar & Disappear. They appeared on Jacksonville's Fox News and performed their single Do You Remember. They have also played in Japan on two occasions, selling way more CDs in Japan than here in the states. It's rumored that "Death Said" will be on the soundtrack for the Maximum Ride movie. The band recently confirmed their break up, saying they are still on good terms with each other.
