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.
