Alternative rock quartet Summercamp hailed from Santa Barbara, California, United States, where, in 1987, vocalist/guitarists Tim Cullen and Sean McCue met in high school. Another fellow student, bassist Misha Feldmann, joined soon after; and drummer Tony Sevener signed on in 1994, making the line-up complete. With Chris Shaw producing, the band issued their 1997 debut LP, Pure Juice, on Maverick Records.

They charted with the single “Drawer" in the U.S., while "Should I Walk Away" reached the Top 10 in Japan.

Summercamp toured the US, Europe and Japan in support of their release, including the second stage of the 1997 Lollapalooza, the 1997 Pukkelpop, and appearing at the very first Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, 1997. The band also toured with Failure, Poster Children, Tonic, and fellow Santa Barbarans, Toad the Wet Sprocket.

Their song "On Her Mind" appeared in the film BASEketball. Summercamp was also credited on the Digimon: The Movie soundtrack with their song "Nowhere Near". Additionally, their songs "Play It By Ear" and "Happy" were featured in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Crush.

Old Man

Untitled

On June 1, 1993, Old Man (effectively the first incarnation of Summercamp, featuring Sean McCue, Tim Cullen, Misha Feldmann and Erik Herzog on drums) released a self-titled album, recorded on a TASCAM 381⁄2" analog 8-track tape machine at Sean's home in Santa Barbara. Three of the songs on this album ("Should I Walk Away", "The Bright Side" and "Thing of the Past") would resurface on Pure Juice four years later. Dean Dinning of Toad the Wet Sprocket plays bass on "Johnny", "Strollin'" and "Time Passes". The album is currently available for download on Sean McCue's website.[10] Under the Summercamp moniker, a different version of the song "Johnny" was released on the 1997 My Records label compilation Happy Meals: A Smorgasbord of My Favorite Songs.[11]
