Founded in 2018 by Cody Okonski, Millington began as a recording project with the mission of bringing a modern sheen to a genre (Ska/Rock-With Horns/Horn-Fueled Pop-Punk) that was largely left behind by big budget labels. With the success of Millington’s early releases such as Cold In The City and University, it became time to put together a live band. After a handful of shows however, the pandemic hit.
 
During the pandemic, while live performances halted, the band continued to work on producing new music. 2020 saw the release of their latest EP, Beatdown Generation, as well as a cover album titled Brass Emo Vol. 1. 
​
As live shows returned, the band made it’s comeback to the stage play its first show back at NYC’s Governors Ball festival 2022, and has hit the ground running ever since. With its signature, self-proclaimed “Brass Emo” sound, the 6 member, horn section charged band brings high energy performances to both studio recordings and the live shows.
Five years is a long time in the music industry, but throughout their time away the fervent demand for Raleigh, NC's Summer Wars has remained a steady constant. Known for their emotional pop-punk, the band's hit track "End of an Era" has amassed nearly 5 million streams on Spotify.

Following a rapid run of successful EPs in the late 2010’s, extensive tours across the US and Canada, and a standout appearance on the final full cross country Vans Warped Tour in 2018, the band is back. Their brand-new single, "Stuck in This Moment," was produced by Seth Henderson and Derek DiScanio of State Champs. The track manages to feel fresh and new while picking up exactly where they left off, giving fans everything they love about this new era of Summer Wars.
