Summerhill were a Scottish jangle pop band formed by former members of Snakes of Shake. They released two albums before splitting up in 1990. They reformed briefly a few years later. HistoryThe band was formed in 1987/8 by formed Snakes of Shake members Seori Burnett, Neil Scott, and Iain Shedden, along with bassist Keith Gilles.[1] Early recordings also featured the steel guitar of B.J. Cole.[1] After debut single "I Want You", the band released the Lowdown mini-LP in October 1988 on the Demon Records offshoot Diablo.[2] Shedden then left to rejoin The Saints, also later playing with Giant Sand. Michael Sturgis replaced him, and the band were signed by Polydor Records.[1] Two singles followed before second album West of Here, the band receiving some critical acclaim but little commercial success.[1] After a final single for Polydor, a cover version of The Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses", the band split up.[1][2] The band also recorded two David Crosby songs, "It Happens Each Day" and "Lady Friend", for the album Time Between - A Tribute to the Byrds under the name Static in 1991, receiving a 'thanks to' credit on the back cover. Gilles and Shedden were also in the band 13 Frightened Girls with singer Sumishta Brahm, releasing a sole single, "Lost at Sea" in 1991.[1][2] Scott went on to join Horse Latitudes.[1] Summerhill reunited in 1994, although only the "No Matter What You Do" single was released before they split up for the last time.[1] Summerhill reformed in 2017 with the help of Jason Mcswan who organised a uk tour and various other support to the band with the original lowdown line up after 28 years since they played together with a re issue of there first album lowdown called Return To Lowdown with a double cd with previously non released material on Neon Tetra Records .
