Description: The wildest and prettiest duo to break out from Porto, Portugal –
Sunflowers are a psych punk injection of fuzz, feedbacks and alien theories. They
started out in 2014 and released a home recorded self-titled EP mainly because
of the pure boredom that comes with being a young person in the suburbs. The
band began to receive nationwide attention in 2015 with the release of their 2nd
EP “Ghosts, Witches and PB&Js” and toured extensively over Portugal and Spain,
opening for acts like Thee Oh Sees, The Black Lips, La Femme, Tomorrows Tulips,
The Parrots, JC Satán, Go!Zilla, among many others and getting sponsorships
by brands like Vans and Brixton. Over the course of 2015 they soon became
one of the best emerging bands in Portugal. There’s a constant energy in their
songs, mutating through punk and 60’s psychedelic to classic 50’s rock and roll
and surf music. Carlos de Jesus on the guitar, Carolina Brandão takes control
of the drums – they both sing. How cool is that? Known as one of the biggest
promises in Portugal’s music scene, their live concerts are where they hit it right
out of the ballpark – climbing up the PA, smashing guitars, switching instruments
(and later destroying them), looping demonic voices…
