While the members of Slight have been busy playing in Painted Zeros, LVL UP, and Normal Person, the trio has managed to find the time to drop two EPs and a single in the span of a year. In the fall of 2015 they released their sophomore EP Hate The Summer, which improved on of their 2014 single Run, soaking their catchy power pop melodies in guitar fuzz. In title-track Hate the Summer the band’s fragile vocals, somewhat reminiscent of The Lemonheads, draw memorable pop hooks, while exploding guitars in the choruses channel the raw energy of rock’n’roll. Slight will be playing the Silent Barn on August 21st. – John Honan, photo by Stephanie Griffin
