Soulever Lift

About Me


"Soulever Lift's singular sound is complex, crazy and cosmopolitan"..."the only place in the world you will ever see a band completely freaking out onstage, with some fans doing the Harlem Shuffle while others are playing mean licks on air guitar. You, too, dear reader, will be sure to get down in your own special way."
-Justin Vaughn (The Maroon Weekly, College Station, TX)
"It’s at first difficult to pin down what sets Soulever Lift apart from other indie rock bands, but then again, it isn’t every day you find a band willing to meld the aggressive sounds of rock with the slick suaveness of soul.Soulever Lift does it, and it does it with panache.The Fort Worth-based music outfit combines the crunching sounds of progressive rock with a touch of soul, crafting a unique and compelling musical mix, a mix that’s on ebullient display on the band’s self-titled album.The album’s 10 tracks reveal a diverse slate of influences, from punk to R&B. The layering of these influences seems counterintuitive, but as you dig into tracks like Spider Webs and Wings, you begin to see the perfect sense of it."
-Cody Daigle (Times of Acadiana, Lafayette, LA)
"Most bands strive to be unique, and by playing to their various skill sets, the Soulever Lift musicians acommplish that: They turn out soul- and R&B-inflected grooves fueled by rock ’n’ roll energy."
-Caroline Collier (Fort Worth Weekly, Fort Worth, TX)
