Solids to tour UK as main support PUP in August/September
03-07-20162015 was a busy year for Solids with more than 200 shows sees the band an other year of near-endless touring and reflects that the road weariness with a group of songs that vibrate at a lower frequency, documenting the waiting, the bleary-yed confusion and the blur of days that come with life on the road.
2016 ain't much different. Last April Solids released their forthcoming "Else" EP on Topshelf/Dine Alone Records. "Else" begins with a melancholic deconstruction of the '90s slacker ethos explored on their first LP and charts Solids' transition into a wider and more experimental sound, borrowing strands from Dinosaur Jr., Hum and Unwound and coiling them into an anxious, alienated sound that's all their own. The final product is a snapshot of a band that's travelled 5000 miles in 19 minutes; a band that's chained itself to the road in search of inspiration. After the release of "Else" Solids toured all Europe in May and June and announces an upcoming UK tour in August and September as main support for PUP:
