My Compelling Story

Solder is a LIVE band based out of the IT capital of India, Bangalore. The Indian sub-continent over the past decade has been nestling an independent music scene, and in 2009 Bangalore gave us Solder. Siddarth Abraham, Sylvester Pradeep, Joel Rozario and Samson Phillip got together by forces which they now like to call destiny and started making music almost randomly, and Bangalore saw a band that played their music LIVE and loud and contributing their two bits to the independent music movement in India. With a line-up at equilibrium and a defined sound, the gigs and the competitions (runners up Strawberry Fields 2009, Bangalore Winners of Yamaha Asian Beats 2010, Bangalore Winners of Channel V Launchpad 2011, runners up of Chennai Live Band Hunt) kept coming and with it Solder developed a reputation of being electric, energetic and fun on stage. The Solder show is like one big party, completely informal, with the feel good vibe, bringing the house down with funk, soul, rock and twenty-something energy. Often described as a unit of four drifters glued together by music, Solder was born with the intent of writing feel good songs, and belting them out loud. Now with all the varied influences bouncing off each other, Solder slowly created a sound space underlined by a groove and layered with vocal melodies and harmonies, accompanied by screaming guitar licks and reverb laden drum sounds.
