Three Summers Gone is a mixed-tempo, technical (
math rock?),
post-melodic hardcore from San Francisco, with roots from South Carolina. Three Summers Gone is Dan (guitar), Kyle (drums), Lamar (guitar), and Chris (vocals/bass).
Three Summers Gone originally formed from the band
Blue In The Face in South Carolina. After all the members traveled out from South Carolina towards the West Coast, and eventually ended up in San Francisco, Three Summers Gone transfromed from a
skate punk band to a complex and
emotionally-charged
post-punk/
post-hardcore, drawing its influences from old and new school bands like
the Descendents,
Hot Water Music,
Samiam,
Jawbreaker, and
Lifetime. Three Summers Gone recorded a full-length on
Substandard Records in 2000, and released "
Time Well Spent" in 2001. Some of the band members also play in other
Bay Area bands - Half Moon Bay's
Under A Dying Sun and San Francisco's
Box the Compass.
