The bands technical ability only enhances their prolific song writing skills. “The Smallest Move is a hugely impressive slice of heavy indie rock from Solid Sun. Foo Fighters used to be this good” – Danny McElhinney, Irish Mail On Sunday (on the first single from Fall In Line, The Smallest Move) For more information on Solid Sun or to keep up to date with us check out;   https://www.facebook.com/solidsunirl https://twitter.com/solidsunireland https://instagram.com/solidsunband/ http://solidsunband.com/ ————————–———————- Solid Sun is a four piece Dublin based rock band which formed early 2014. The band has been writing and recording for the last year and are currently finishing recording their Debut EP “Fall in Line” which is due for release 2nd August. More Material is due out later in the year! With members full of experience, from playing all over Ireland and the UK to multiple television and radio appearances, Solid Sun are preparing to bring a fresh taste to the Rock scene in Ireland. By blending some heavy sounds with rock grooves and heartfelt melodies their repertoire is vast, dynamic and consistently interesting. Solid Sun’s influences are quite broad and with a motto of “write what you feel, not for a genre” they have a song for all tastes. Their roots sit mainly in Rock, Modern Rock, Hard Rock and Metal. Bands like Pearl Jam, Volbeat, Foo Fighters, Slash and Black Stone Cherry as well as traditional Irish Music styles lend themselves to the Solid Sun sound. Wearing their influences on their sleeve Solid Sun has an incredible distinctive sound and are instantly recognizable. After an active debut year the band have continually grown from strength to strength delivering a great rock show. 2014 also saw them hit the road around Ireland in support of Australian band Acca/Dacca. The tour which included shows in Dublin, Wexford, Cork, Navan, Derry and Dundalk, saw Solid Sun greatly received by sell out crowds and increase a loyal and dedicated fanbase. With their Debut EP “Fall In Line” set for release this August, along with more material later this year, acquiring experienced management, and notable upcoming gigs such as The Cauldron 2015 – Button Factory, along with an Irish tour in Oct/Nov, the band continues where they left off in 2014…. rocking the masses!
