Indian Summer was a short-lived but influential emo/screamo band from Oakland, California, active during the early 1990s. Part of the passionate DIY scene that defined the era, they blended raw, chaotic energy with poetic lyrics and dynamic shifts between hushed introspection and explosive catharsis. Their discography—including the *Giving Birth to Thunder* compilation and tracks like “Woolworm” and “Orchard”—remains a cult favorite, celebrated for its emotional intensity and cryptic, nature-inspired imagery. Though they disbanded in 1994 after barely a year together, their impact reverberated through later emo and post-hardcore circles, cementing their legacy as pioneers of the genre’s visceral, unfiltered sound.
