The Summer Obsession is a punk band from Jacksonville, Florida & Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. The band originally started in 2004 by Lucian Walker & Allan 'Fin' Leavell. They went through several 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. Two Types Of People was the first CD released by the outfit, which featured a cover of Tom Petty's Free Fallin. The group was slated to play on dates of the 2004 Warped Tour, but their stage was cancelled; after finding this out, they moved to Los Angeles, where they landed a deal with Virgin Records after several months. Late in 2005, they appeared on a MySpace Records compilation. 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 have also played in Japan on two occasions, selling more CDs in Japan than in the United States. The band broke up in 2008, stating they are still "on good terms with each other". According to the bands Myspace, they have gotten back together and plan on having updates during 2009.
