Solid Flow

Solid Flow started out as a project band for the 1992 Karlshamns Musikforum Summer Party under the name Something About Eve. Founding members Mija and drummer Age Karlsson had been talking about collaboration for some time. After a lot of discussing they found out that the band All About Eve was a common favourite, thus the direction for the project. The band was completed with guitarists Magnus Ölander and Mikael Nygren, bass player Ulf Kronsell and vocalists Maria Distner, Ina Simonsen, Jenny Hoffner and Joanna Wiesowska.Once the original mission was carried out the band felt that it would be a shame to break up the band. The repertoire was quickly extended with songs by artists like Louise Hoffsten, Janet Jackson and Led Zeppelin. Band members joined and left the band frequently. After a couple of years more and more original songs started to make their way into the set list. The line up at that time, Bert-Ola Andersson (guitar), Martina Svanberg (vocals), Fredrik Strömberg (keyboards), Mija, Age, Mikael and Ulf wrote a lot of songs. Almost all off them were recorded but never released. Unfortunately this was done after the tragic death of Mikael in May 1994.In 1996 the band changed name to Alibi Ike following a couple of line up changes and short “career” as an un-plugged band. Magnus came back into the band after a couple of years absence and together with drummer Paul Ekdahl and saxophone player, guitarist and singer Emil Edwards made the new line up complete and the name was changed to Flow 42. A period of intense work followed and in 2001 the band completed three demo recordings. Paul left the band in November of 2001 but was quickly replaced by Vulture Cavalry-drummer Jimmy Lexe. A lot of cover gig were made during this period but it didn’t stop the band from writing new material. In 2003 several new songs were recorded at Sound Palace Studios by Johan Blomström but didn’t quite make it to be properly finished up. In 2004 the band was joined by singer/guitarist/songwriter Daniel Frank. A bunch of new songs was recorded under the surveilance of Genesis of Pain mastermind Dan Lundberg. All the recorded material was scrutinized and eleven songs were chosen for the album that finally got the title “Was It Something I Said?” By this time the band had changed name (again!) and is now known as Solid Flow. Currently the band is busy finishing up the art work and booklet for the album. Hopefully you will find it at a store or webshop close to you in the near future. Stay tuned!
