True to Arizona punk-pop quintet The Summer Set's name, "Someone Like You" is a light, innocent video that focuses on summer love. Topical, no?

Detailing a day in the life of summer love, the video, shot mostly through a series of point-of-view shots, follows our couple as they wake up, hit the beach and drive around joyously with no destination. While mainly juxtaposed with footage of the band performing, the two stories intersect toward the end, as our female conquest grabs a camera herself and starts shooting the band. It's a simple yet effective video that mirrors the light, airy nature of the pop track.

On their upcoming Everything's Fine album, the follow-up to 2009's Love Like This, The Summer Set supplements their energetic, boisterous pop sound with acoustic, stripped-down tracks for a more expansive and mature sound. Everything's Fine is out July 19 on Razor & Tie.

When we last saw The Summer Set, the group was riding high on its single, "Chelsea," off the Love Like This EP and playing Bamboozle. This summer, in addition to riding bikes, The Summer Set's heading out on the Warped Tour AND re-releasing the Love Like This EP on July 6 with -- wait for it -- a bonus CD of five Taylor Swift songs!!

I can get into The Summer Set's iPod-ready pop-punk stylings; I can get into the youthful, effortless energy of it all, but I gotta say, I LOVE that the one girl of this fivesome is the band's drummer. Sorry -- not sexist, right? That's just bad-ass, and I love it. You work your stuff, Jess Bowen; who says the guys should be the only ones hitting stuff?

So anyway -- still with me? The Summer Set, of Arizona, is all you if you're into some honest fare for your party mix or your running playlist. The group's sounds are very, very of-the-now, but there's solid musical instincts behind it; and the lyrics are airy and mercifully un-cheesy.

Even though they're signed now, The Summer Set ctually made a name for itself with self-released EPs, MySpace postings, and unsolicited friend requests!

I'm particularly into "Chelsea" -- about a girl whose sheer hotness is powerful enough to get other girls' names deleted from iPhones. Little aside: "Chelsea" is based on lead singer Brian Dales' girlfriend Chelsea Staub -- surely you know her as Stella Malone from JONAS on Disney. So does that mean Chelsea really wears a new dress every day? Girl, that's a lot of work... but I guess you get back what you put out; this might even be the dangerous Chelsea from that sweet Stefy song...

The Summer Set's debut full-length album, Love Like This, drops this fall on October 13th. Can't wait for that? Listen to The Summer Set's cover of Usher's "Love In This Club." And follow them on Twitter at @the_summer_set.
