Taking their name from a book on spirituality by Michael Bentine, DOOR MARKED SUMMER's heavy two-drummer tribal attack and Progressive/Psychedelic tendencies lifted them above the Hardcore/Crust scene from which they originated. Their often chaotic gigs (many at squat parties) occasionally saw members of the audience joining in the tribal percussion using beer kegs. The band also occasionally played a more Dub-heavy set under the name DMS IN DUB.

DOOR MARKED SUMMER later evolved into CROW, who took the Prog/Psych elements to new levels.
