Digital Summer has played numerous shows throughout the valley, filling venues to capacity, and are now looking to take their music to a national level. Having established a large local fan base and regional distribution of over 75,000 copies of their debut EP, Digital Summer has become a growing interest in the musical community throughout the Southwest. While seeking management and label representation, Digital Summer is continually promoting, touring and always working on new material. This is Digital Summer.

Made up of heavy/melodic guitars and raw emotional vocals. If Staind, Deftones, Sevendust and Chevelle were to crash into each other, the result would be something similar to Digital Summer. Original edgy rock with a melodic over tone. aka= AWESOME

Born in a small town in central California to Portuguese immigrants, Johnny Lima dreamt of music stardom since the age of four. With a tennis racket strapped around him, Johnny sang & "played" along to his Kiss albums until his parents bought him his first guitar on his 12th birthday. Not interested in learning the basics, Johnny began writing his own songs from day one. A few years later, Johnny travelled north to the San Francisco Bay Area in search of the ultimate rock band. After singing with CHESHIRE CAT, Johnny formed ATTITUDE with keyboardist Brent De Leo. They went on to play many shows throughout the Bay Area until drummer Jerome De Leo got into a car accident loosing the use of one of his arms. After numerous attempts to find a replacement, ATTITUDE called it quits.

Melodic Rock music with HUGE Vocals, killer melody, and hooks big enough to catch Moby Dick.
