Summer Of Hate

Summer of Hate (So H), is a shoegazing band from Espinho, created by João Martins (Guitar, Backing Vocals) with Laura Calado (Voice, Lyrics), Fábio Pereira (Bass), and Pedro Lopes (Drums) with two more guest guitarists (Ricardo Fonseca, Xavier Valente), whose sound is rooted in psychedelic music with influences in rock and pop from the 60s, as well as in its revivalism in the 80s (Echo & the Bunnymen, The Church, The Jesus and Mary Chain), in post-punk, in noise rock, in global music and in both classical music and middle-eastern folk.

In 2026, the band intends to expand its sound, get heavy and open the circle pit with the double album “Blood & Honey”.

“Blood” - An exploration of the language of shoegazing through “global” music, punk and danceable rhythms.

“Honey” - An expansion of the shoegazing sound of the debut album, broadening the lexicon of portuguese pop music and taking the band's working method of pastiche and timbral revivalism of the 60s and mashing twee, jangle, post-punk, britpop and slowcore all together in three songs, maintaining it’s psychedelic tendencies and creating beautiful melodies whose aim is to melt hearts while nerding out on NME’s C86 compilation.
