The Dollyrots - "Wrapped In Sunshine"

Photo by Jen Rosenstein

"Wrapped In Sunshine" is the perfect name for the latest from The Dollyrots. The song screams summertime and sunshine. It's a pop punk song leaning heavily towards the pop side of the genre with one foot planted squarely in garage rock. At times it's almost too pop, but The Dollyrots have a magical ability to never cross that line too far. The whole thing reminds me of Go! era Letters to Cleo mixed with 80's Ramones with surf guitars. We've been bringing you a lot of perfect for summer songs lately, but when one is as great as "Wrapped In Sunshine," how can anyone resist?

You can listen to "Wrapped In Sunshine" below. The single is out now with a B-side of a cover of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero" via Wicked Cool Records. For more on The Dollyrots, check out the band's website. Upcoming tour dates are below the songs.
