orosco. malakai. matthais. jonah. 4 souls who understood that music was not just for loving, or living, or leaving. music was for leavening, lifting, logging. music is dead. our hearts went out to vegan roadie shred.
Influences
amber shades of tears. i cry. cupertino lullaby. desperation in another world. happy sadness now unfurled. did i mention that i cry? cry with me.
sound. random patterns. moisture. lies. exuberance. genitalia. these thoughts come from the top of my head. our music comes from the same place. not a wealthy band of gypsies nor a criminal act of cyber-punks but thanks for asking. if it were up to us, it would be the only form. emo that is. emo is what?? care to find out?? take a pen, write your thought on the sidewalk. sit under a tree and watch the clouds form shapes in the atmosphere of your mind. go to a show and study the stains that your tears leave on your shirt from crying at the intense moment of the gig. how you go about navigation is your option(s). WE PREFER TO DO AWAY WITH THIS UNPERSONAL FORM OF COMMUNICATION but those that prove impossible in reach shall be the sole proprietors of our existence on this platform.

What does extremo mean?
Well, that all matters on what you want it to mean. To some it may be
they color of the sky, to others like my family, it is the direction of
things to come. Emo Summer's definition of extremo is the genre of
music that we have invented. We feel in order to define ourselves and
be seperatists, we needed to establish our own identity. Hence, extremo
was born. We feel that extremo will be around for a long time, unlike
those fly by night genres power-violence and straight-edge.
What kind of music would you consider extremo?
Extremo is unclassifiable. It is it's own classification. Emo Summer is extremo, but extremo doesn't have to only be Emo Summer.
Where did extremo come from?
It came from Malakai's beating heart, from Matthais' poetry in motion,
from Orosco's tear-drenched hands and Jonah's musical
assertiveness...it was all in the moment.
Where does extremo go from here?
It goes wherever it wants.
We are beside ourselves in happiness to bring extremo to the public
light and like a teenager under thy parents thumb, we are hesitant to
let it go but it knows no boundaries and must be set free to explore
the immense tree-filled world out there. We are proud, proud parents of
extremo and want it to experiment with love, hate, drugs, sex, alcohol,
coffee, cigarette's and blood to find itself...
What next for Emo Summer?
Extremo today, who knows tomorrow. We'll let emolution take it's course....

just as leaveless trees are the nerve endings of the earth and the streets are paved veins and we walk down like blood cells....dissident screams ring in the ears and remember how to adorn the leather with anti-fashion
one misguided shot through the heart
and she laid his body in the night sky
'her grief' they said 'is why the stars look so sad'
each one falls from the sky
waterpolo
i swear i never wanted more
icy blue behind hornrim
just this little bit
is all i ask
as the seasons churn
one leaf falls into autumn
a dead weight in my chest
as if my heart turned to stone
lets never feel so far together
the pillar of my feelings falls
and You till the soil of my dreams
fertilised by tears
that father cant understand
how could he
so cold in a world so globally warm
oh dear
oh my dear, where were You
when my august crashed into Your sunsetless horizon
dome.
MASTURBATION
a beautiful girl on the night shift of imagination.
youull dream
of laurels & angels
bodies yet
the rage in
masturbation
will speak for
weeks.
PS: I know there's a photo of me passed out on a toilet somewhere around one of your houses! Your mission, if you choose to accept it, FIND THAT PICTURE!
my hands are blistered from the sweat of my eyes and that in it's self is more than a lie. Please kiss me with your thoughts and dip roses in the ashes of building to fall. That's where babies came from my momma said. Then she opened her legs and I planted what the world gave all of us.
