Formed in 2002, Solid State comprised of members of "Stilborn" (Dion Howe and Adam Fortune) along with musicians Maarten Manmohan, David Jackson and Richard Butts. The band embraked on a journey to write heavy yet catchy material and came up with 7 songs in 4 months. After 3 very sucessful shows drummer Adam Fortune decided to leave the band. Solid State then recorded a rough demo of one of their 7 tracks entitled "Broken Circles" which was presented to A&R representatives at the Decibel conference in 2003. With very positive reviews the band decided they would record better quality material along with the help of "Orange Sky" super drummer Obasi Springer . Working with Obasi was a dream and he assisted in re-structuring and writing of the material which would eventually be called "Out of Sight, Out of Mind". After a month in the studio with no sign of finishing and with guitarist and founder Dion Howe being recurited to join Trinidad giants "Incert Coin" the band was left at a stand still.
In 2005 after Richard and Maarten joined the band Kryl'ja, the two decided to finish the studio project of Solid State and with the assistance of Jason Bodden (formerly of "Stilborn") regrouped the band and completed 2 of the 8 studio tracks. Still in search of a drummer, the band turned to "Kryl'ja" drummer Avery Herralal. Because of a hectic schedule, Avery was replaced by "Chaos Room" drummer Zack Carpenter. This inception of the band has played only a couple of shows but has written and recorded material together and hope to release an E.P. in early 2007.
