Don't Yell Fire! began as the solo project of singer/songwriter Craig Goldberg but became a full-fledged band in early 2014 with the addition of Mike Rohde and Dustin Kent. If anyone wants to prove to someone that all of the band members are really talented musically, "Summer Sunrise" would be the track to do that with. The song has amazing guitar work, without over-playing or being self-indulgent; just simple and chunky riffs to shift the song into top gear. It displays searing guitars, a dreamy soundscape, superb melody, and lovely contrasting musical tones. The arrangement is full, lush, and oceanic, yet light, simple and unbridled, leaving you no doubt about the quality of the band’s components and the direction in which they are ultimately headed.

As a songwriter, Craig Goldberg’s songwriting has the quality generally bestowed on hit making writers, who are able to capture the listener’s attention within the very first verse. Craig’s full, reedy voice is interwoven well into the music too, giving his writing a certain heartfelt quality. And unlike many of their fellow pop-rockers, Don’t Yell Fire! aren’t afraid to embrace accessibility and reach new heights creatively, in the same breath.
