Bands You Really Should Listen To - Part 3

Summer Went Too Soon

Summer Went Too Soon are a Swiss collective formed in 2005, from the ashes of a Sonic Youth influenced rock band. The remaining members decided to persue a more electro direction under the Summer... moniker recording a demo, which in turn was passed onto Urgence Discs Records, who snapped up the band immediately.

Influenced by a variety of groups including Kraftwerk and The Cure, right through to contemporary artists like Boards of Canada and Death In Vegas, the band do not want to be pigeonholed in one particular style.

They are currently recording their debut album, with a tentative release date for December. They then plan to "play, play and play" as much as they can around the world, accompanied by a live VJ, emphasising their commitment to spectacular visuals, as well as spectacular electro based rock.

You can stream some tracks slated to be on the debut here. "Big Brother" and "Access Code" are both highly recommended.
