Review by Dom Vigil Summer Wars have reimagined their recently released EP, Better Days into five acoustic tracks, and this version is a total success. Swapping high energy drumming and guitar work for a more laid back sound, the acoustic EP gives you more of a chance to focus on the beautiful vocal harmonies and well thought out guitar work that makes Summer Wars’ sound strong. “Effortless,” easily the best song on the original version of the EP, translates flawlessly into the acoustic version.
