Santa Hates You were a German/Italian band who first came together back in 2007. The two band members were Jinxy - the Italian vocalist and Peter Spilles who is usually called PS. The central pillar on which the band was formed was their passion for dark music, rebellious humour and the macabre arts.[1][2]

Peter Spilles, better known as PS, is also leader of the band Project Pitchfork.

History[edit]

One of the stranger aspects of the band is their habit for working at night.[3][4][5] Late 19th century and early 20th century art and literature is also a great love for the band, and they find musical inspiration from movements such as Symbolism, Surrealism and the Decadent Movement.[6][7] This passion for different perspectives and psychological approaches are also an important element in their creation of music and art.[8][9][10]
