'''Summercamp''' is an [alternative rock](/source/alternative_rock) quartet from [Santa Barbara, California](/source/Santa_Barbara%2C_California), United States, where, in 1987, vocalist/guitarists Tim Cullen and Sean McCue met in high school. Another fellow student, bass guitarist Misha Feldmann, joined soon after; and drummer Tony Sevener signed on in 1994, making the line-up complete. With [Chris Shaw](/source/Chris_Shaw_(recording_engineer)) producing, the band issued its first LP, ''Pure Juice'', in 1997 on Maverick Records.

They charted with the single "Drawer" in the U.S. and "Should I Walk Away" reached the Top 10 in Japan.

Summercamp toured the US, Europe and Japan in support of their release, including the second stage of the 1997 [Lollapalooza](/source/Lollapalooza), the 1997 [Pukkelpop](/source/Pukkelpop), and appearing at the very first [Fuji Rock Festival](/source/Fuji_Rock_Festival) in Japan in 1997. The band also toured with [Failure](/source/Failure_(band)), [Poster Children](/source/Poster_Children), [Tonic](/source/Tonic_(band)) and fellow Santa Barbarans, [Toad the Wet Sprocket](/source/Toad_the_Wet_Sprocket).

After coming off the road in support of ''Pure Juice'', the band started work on a second album that was finished and for which a promotional video was shot but went unreleased, as record company issues led to their eventual breakup in 2001.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cZcGAQAAQBAJ&q=summercamp&pg=PA82|title=Majorlabelland and Assorted Oddities|isbn=9781491706022|last1=Crigler|first1=Pete|date=19 September 2013}}</ref> Summercamp reunited in mid-2015 and performed a reunion show on August 8 at Velvet Jones in Santa Barbara.
