Shore Rites is a Burlington based Psychedelic Surf Rock/Dreampop project coming from Matt Serrano (Vocals/Guitar), Richard Berry (Bass), Matt Gardner (Guitar), and Nate Meuiner (Drums). Formed in 2020 on the precipice of a global pandemic, Matt Serrano formed the project. Their tone is shaped and influenced by sounds from Oh Seas, Craft Spells, The Kinks and New Order to name a few. Within their tenor in the Burlington scene they have made quite a splash. Here are some quotes from people around the Burlington scene on Shore Rites.

"Foals-meets-Dick Dale sound" - Chris Farnsworth of Seven Days

"...lovers of sprawling dream-pop with a post-rock bent should take note of this group" - Jordan Adams of Sevendays

"...Shore Rites lean as dream-pop as they do post-punk at times though, and their excellent debut EP blends the two genres."
