Summer of Hate (S º H) is a neo-psychedelic rock band from Porto, Portugal rooted in shoegazing, post-rock, noise pop, British post-punk from the 80s and pop from the 60s, whose only intention is to make beautiful music at a very high volume. The main goal is to place three guitars, a bass, a drums and a voice with simple melodies that create a dense and flowery wall of sound in terms of timbres, as if a folk band were going into psychosis. It already has a live presence since 2016 (with its debut in the respective edition of the Reverence Valada festival) and concerts from north to south of Portugal. The band consists of 6 members: Laura Calado (vocals), João Martins, Pedro Adelino and Pedro Ferreira (guitars), Michel Oliveira (bass) and Pedro Lopes (drums) and with an extensive online portfolio of more than 35 demos throughout two years (between 2017 and 2019), two singles namely "Year of Kali" from 2017 and "Ecstasy" from 2018 and a live album at Ferro Bar (Porto) available since October 2019. The band released their first studio record "Love is Dead! Long Live Love" on November 11, 2022 recorded with the financial support of GDA whose lead single 'Não Sei' is available since October 20 with music video on Youtube and respective digital platforms.
