Solids
Solids’ ELSE EP available to pre-order
Prepare ready to fill your ears with new music from Montreal fuzz-rockers Solids — their newly announced ELSE EP drops April 15, and is now available to pre-order! Order on iTunes and receive lead single “Blank Stare” instantly. Order physical products, including coloured vinyl, cassettes, pins and more through the Dine Alone webstore. Stream “Blank Stare” below.
The new EP sees the band checking in after a year of near-constant touring. Having played more than 200 shows in 2014-2015 with the likes of Metz, PUP, Nothing, Single Mothers, Pity Sex and Makthaverskan, the EP reflects that road weariness within a group of songs that vibrate at a lower frequency, documenting the waiting, the bleary-eyed confusion and the blur of days that come with life on the road. The EP serves as a snapshot of a band that’s traveled 5000 miles in 19 minutes; a band that’s chained itself to the road in search of inspiration.
