DEAD DOG SUMMER

Dead Dog Summer is a post-hardcore band from Cakovec, Croatia, formed at the end of 2020 after several years of the members’ break from playing in various bands. All members were active on the scene in the first decade of the 2000s in various bands from Cakovec and Zagreb (Nikad, The Farewell Reason, Senata Fox, Implicite, Youth Against…), and Dead Dog Summer is their return to the scene. In 2022, the band recorded their first album “A Place of Someday” in their rehearsal room and Ivan Jakić from Kut Sobe studio was in charge of mixing and mastering. Band played several gigs in Croatia by far and shoot 2 videos for Diamonds and Thorns and Sometimes. Their debut album The Place of Someday is released on September 23rd through Geenger Records and is available on all streaming services.

Band members are Igor Bistrovic (guitar and vocals), Kreso Zerjav (bass and vocals), and Boris Strahija (drums). When we try to describe the music of Dead Dog Summer it would be easiest to say it is some kind of hardcore that was played in the late 90-ies (they used to call it emo or screamo those days). Their sound is a combination of sparkly and heavy guitars, screaming and singing vocals, and a tight performance of rhythm section.
