Rock, Punk
HATE IT TOO STARTED OUT IN 2008, by the banks of the St-Lawrence River in Trois-Pistoles, Québec. The band, which at first was only a hobby for a couple of high school kids, turned out to be a more serious project as 2010 began.
In the summer of 2012, the band moved to Quebec City and recorded their first release: “It’s About Time”, which came out in November later that year. The EP consisted of the quartet’s best tracks since its inception.
At the dawn of 2013, the Quebec City outfit started working on its first full-length record. It took nearly two years - and a bass player change - for the band to start recording its first effort, Purple Mountains. The debut album came out on August 18th, 2015.
Hate It Too promoted the album across the province of Quebec and at the same time looked for future opportunities for their music. “Purple Mountains” & “It’s About Time” have sold many copies in different places all around Europe, Asia and South America, on top of the North American market they were already hitting. They shared the stage with international acts such as Gob, A Wilhelm Scream, Swingin' Utters, Bigwig, Seaway, Pears, The Brains, Mute, Dance Laury Dance, Sandveiss, Cobra Skulls, and the list goes on. The band decided to join the Montreal-based record label Hell for Breakfast to release their sophomore album “Lampshading” in May 2020, which garnered success everywhere in the world furthering their goal of breaking out of the Quebec market.
