SOL REVOLUTION

About Me


North London’s finest SOL DEVIOUS
After becoming finalists in O2 Undiscovered, supporting The Twang and blowing the crowds away at the 2007 Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, they supported fellow London lads The Rifles at Shepherds Bush Empire on the 4th October and embarked on two mini tours of the North and the Midlands.
Already masters of the London scene now, this indie rock’n’roll five piece take their inspiration from 60’s pop, 90’s indie, Factory Records and the Rave scene and merge these influences to create a fresh new sound with super high energy. Get your ass moving music.
SOL DEVIOUS have been packing them to the rafters and shaking the foundations at their live gigs and it hasn’t gone un-noticed. Their raucous tune “I Gave Up Drugs (Mistakes)” features in the new British film "Bigga than Ben" released in 2008, alongside Babyshambles, The Rifles and Joe Strummer on the soundtrack.
SOL DEVIOUS is a band full of strong characters who’s love of music and rock ‘n’ roll legend brought them together to create songs that are above all honest, packed with their own style and straight from the Sol including "Me and You", “I Gave Up Drugs (Mistakes)”, “Cut ‘n’ Run”, “Powder Monkey”, “Sol Revolution” and “Come A Long Way” they’ve got it and got it right with credible infectious anthems.
