The concept of the song is pretty simple: All summers are great, but there's a summer that changed our lives forever. Summer of '99 wasn't just an awesome time for us, but it was also a magic moment in which many of our favourite bands released some of our favourite records. The lyrics of this songs reference some of those (and a couple of records published before... can you spot them?), remembering an incredible time that won't ever come back, but will stay with us forever through music.

VCI are: Gabriele Cucinella - Vocals, Guitar

Mattia Cimadoro - Vocals, Guitar

William Tessaro - Drums

Marco Roncoroni - Bass

Summer of '99 was recorded and mastered by VCI and Christopher H Fogal at Black in Bluhm Studios, Swiss branch.

Verse, Chorus, Inferno. are a punk rock band from Como, Italy who started back in 2007 with a European tour. In the lockdown of 2020 they worked on new music again and recorded their first full length album. This is the brilliant 'Flying a Delorean To 2007' and it tells eleven stories about their 2007 tour, life on the road, the lockdown, friendship and the will to play together again. The album includes ten great original tracks and a rocking cover of Fleetwood Mac’s 'Dreams', featuring Sandro from Forty Winks as guest vocalist. You can still pick up a copy here.
