英文介绍 THE ATARIS are a pop punk band.
The band originally consisted of singer/songwriter/guitarist Kris Roe and guitarist Jasin Thomason. Using a 4-Track, they wrote and recorded demos in Kris’s bedroom, with a drum machine as the drummer. At this point in time the band was searching for a full-time drummer. The first step in their road to success came when Kris attended a The Vandals concert at Bogart’s in Cincinnati, where he passed one of the demo tapes to The Vandals’ roadie Fitz. A few weeks later, Kris received a call from Kung Fu Records, who told him they were interested in putting out their record. Though they were initially just searching for a drummer, the band signed to Kung Fu anyway. The label sent the tape to various drummers, and eventually the band settled on Derrick Plourde. The band then proceeded to record their debut album Anywhere but Here, tracking the whole thing in less than a week. In June of 1997, Kris moved from Anderson to Santa Barbara, California. Shortly afterward, Marko 72 joined the band on bass. Jasin Thomason left the band to go back to Indiana, and the group toured as a three-piece from then on. After a short tour in October 1997, the original lineup disbanded. Kris reformed the group with Mike Davenport on bass, Chris Knapp on drums, and Patrick Riley on guitar. From there, they gradually increased in popularity in the underground punk scene, producing the well-acclaimed EP, Look Forward to Failure, where they collaborated with Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus on one of the tracks.

» Boys Of Summer

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer’s out of reach
Emtpy streets
The sun goes down alone
I’m driving by your house
Though I know you’re not home
I can see you
Your bare skin shining in the sun
You’ve got your hair pulled back
And the sunglasses on baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder is it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy
Remember how I made you scream
But I don’t understand what happened to our love
But baby when I get you back
I’m gonna show you what I’m made of
I can see you
Your bare skin shining in the sun
I see you walking real slow
And ya smiling at everyone
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I’m on the road today
I saw a black flag sticker on a cadillac
A little voice inside my head said don’t look back
You can never look back
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but...
I can see you
Your bare skin shining in the sun
You got the top pulled down
And the radio on baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you
Your bare skin shining in the sun
You got your hair slicked back And Those Wave Bearers on Baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be stong
After the boys of Summer Have Gone...
