SUMMORE is a synth-pop / darkwave duo from central Ohio. Julie (vocals / lyrics) and Justin (synth / production). Their brighter sounds are often laced with hidden meanings and other interpretations just beneath the surface. Their darkest and most bleak tracks have trickles of optimism that create a balance that opens them to a state of meditation, self-reflection, and healing.
In September 2022, after playing to a packed house at an intimate venue in Columbus, they stopped for a late night bite. As they sat parked, a drunk driver lost control, and blasted the duo from one side of the parking lot to the other within a second. In an instant, their lives were changed.
They have not stopped. In spite of everything, they found enough strength through their recovery to chronicle their harrowing experience on their second LP, New Pain. Despite their physical and emotional injuries, they continue to persevere in their musical journey.
It has only just begun.
