Band Line Up 2015

“Sumer bring prog rock kicking and screaming into the 21st century with frankly dazzling aplomb…The essence of Sumer is also the incredible stage presence and the delivery of their triple guitar attack which surges, explodes and winds down in waves leaving the senses in a euphoric state of jubilant chaos. ”Fox James, Metalmouth.net

"A hypnotic blend of prog – rock frenzy and post metal delirium ... Sumer’s musical talent is outstanding and all five members exude exceptional zeal performing live on stage "Isere Lloyd - Davis, Prog

The debut album, The Animal You Are, engineered and produced by Sean Douglas (TheFranklys, TheGraveltones, Django Django) andmastered by Justin Paul Hill (Sikth, Yashin, Young Guns), is a dynamic, soulful and groove laden ride into the band's unique take on modern prog rock and metal, echoing not onlyc ontemporary greats such as Karnivool and Gojira but also with a firm rooting back into the glory days of grunge and prog with a nod of the head to the likes of Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden and Smashing Pumpkins. Despite many of these influences the album still retains a distinctly British feel thanks to their unconventional approach to recording which unlike many of their contemporaries, keeps it all live, all analogue and put down on vintage equipment.

'Sumer are stoked to be playing the premier metal festival in the UK, to be sharing the bill with so many influential bands is a huge honour!'
