━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Formed in 2014 and howling from Porto, the band known as Sunflowers has been shaking up the Portuguese music scene and like the plague in the 1300's, they've been spreading all over Europe. Maybe it's because the aggressive, destructive sound produced by the band has nothing to do with their flourish name. Maybe it's because of their prolific work ethic. Maybe it’s mind control via radio waves. Who knows?
In over 300 shows over two continents (so far), they've shared stage with bands like Oh Sees, Moon Duo, Black Lips, Night Beats, Boogarins, La Femme, ... and played festivals such as NOS Alive (PT), Festival Indigènes (FR), Endless Daze Fest (SA), Inner City Psych Fest (SA), Bristol Psych Fest (UK), Festival Europavox (FR), among many, many others.
In their spirit of ignoring-everything-that-has-been-said-to-keep-them-safe, the band proves restless on their live performances, delivering a performance that goes through a meth-fuelled block party to a sonic stabbing session. And they ask the audience to share their energy, to spread it further than a PA system with a sliced speaker can - to let their energy do what it's meant to: break the symbolic chains that locks our hands, distracting us with screens, betting websites ads and useless life hacks videos.
There will always be someone to manipulate, censor and control the airwaves, for it shall be saved of the imminent sonic stack of the band. But no one can turn down their growls and especially their amplifiers. This is a band that sacrificed their hearing for us to be able to study the Larsen effect up close. Now it's time to sacrifice yours.
