As of today, its music video has over 100,000 views on YouTube. Their recent single, 'Enough', is also doing well, with over 10,000 views on YouTube. The quintet consists of vocalist, Bryan, guitarists, Victoria and Shaykh, bassist, Edwin, and drummer, Ritz. The band even featured as the opening acts for renowned bands Mayday Parade and Yellowcard in 2011 and 2012 respectively, despite being relatively new at the time. Since then, The Summer State has performed gigs overseas, in Indonesia, Malaysia, and even the Philippines.
