Misguided Single
Michael Kerner | Brooklyn, New York U.S.A. | 10/03/2003
(1 out of 5 stars)

"For The Ataris, they truly have made some underground headway. Unfortunately, when you need to make it in the mainstream, you need to start on your own, and try not to sample another artist's part. That came when they covered Don Henley's hit, The Boys Of Summer. This version, was the worst version of any cover song I've heard within the past few years. To me, it is just a dull throwback to the Punk days of the late 70's. Still, if you really enjoy the song, listen to the original version Don Henley did back in 1984. Maybe that one will give you a memory."

"You can always rely on The Ataris to provide you with some of the best pop punk ever to grace the airwaves.
since signing to a major, the boys have gone from strength to strength. this, the 2nd single to be lifted off the hugely successful SoLong Astoria album, will be sure to catapult them from cult status to household names. the song itself is a cover of the Don Henly classic but the Ataris do the song justice with their own unique take on it. backed by a trio of Amazing BSides its well worth parting your cash for this single as it makes a fine addition to both Ataris obsessives and casual listeners collections alike"
