Summer of Hate are a shoegazing band from Porto, rooting their wall of sound in neo-psychedelic, noise rock, 60s pop, 80s post-punk and global sounds. We only want to make beautiful music at a high volume.
In 2024 we aim to release to EPs "Blood & Honey" that expand our sonic lore, with "Blood" being an exploration of shoegazing via global sounds, punk and sometimes disco. Various ingredients thrown into a pot: from Sufi music, dabke, Phrygian scales, Indian scales, raga, drone and swells expanding the psychedelic language and impressionist aesthetics of shoegaze.
