He's a killer, like a real man

About Me


People ask us why we do this. Aside from the fact that we love doing it we think this is a good philosophy: somebody once said that "a bad day in rock and roll is better than a good day at work". We don't think you can argue with that!
BIO...
The basics: mates from school and university got together to play music. In typical fashion lost members along the way to drink, drugs, women, careers, university etc etc. Could bore you forever with the details but who cares?!!
Solaflair have been compared to Jimmy Eat World, Muse and Foo Fighters and it is the tuneful melodic rock sound that they produce with ease that has found them favourites of the live scene in their native Newcastle ever since their second place finish in Insangel's 2004 Battle of the Bands.
Solaflair are all about pounding rhythms, ripping guitar sounds and soaring vocals. If that's what you want in a band (what else is there?) make sure to catch them at one of their raucous live gigs.
