Summertime is the best season to get in your car and drive around with nowhere to go. The sunsets are the prettiest, the days are the longest, and it's optimum weather for rolling all of the windows down. This is the perfect playlist for opening that sunroof and taking an adventure to, well, anywhere. Whether you have a long trip or a quick drive, this playlist is a delicious mixture of indie and alternative rock to get your summer started. I suggest listening to it in order rather than shuffle, but whatever makes you happy, makes me happy.
