Bio
FLORIDA
Florida writes future classics—stupid good guitar leads, power pop hooks, and fine, rockin’ beats, fused with the easy-going spirits of ‘70s and ‘80s rock and pop. They channel that golden era’s warmth and groove without sinking into nostalgia, creating old-school rock and roll with style and substance for the current age. Built to make you move, kill, sing along, love, or feel nothing at all.
Florida is led by songwriter/guitarist Billy Summer. Billy and drummer Kyle Lovell cut their teeth in the legendary and volatile The Semis, then carved out years of new wave power pop hits with Luxury Mane. Bassist Aaron Akers—veteran of Four Star Riot, Hangtown, Barely Pink,—locked in with Florida in 2025. Rounding it out is guitarist Matthew Boyle, a St. Pete/Brooklyn artist and the perfect dueling axeman for a band built to burn it down.
