Bipolaroid Alternative Rock with a Post-Punk Spine

About Me


Soulrise came together during a fateful meeting in London in Feb 2005 whereby the members agreed to get together for a weekend and see what happened.Enough ideas emerged to potentially keep us going for years and the flow began.Hailing from Yorkshire and Notts we are 3 driven individuals (currently expanding to 5) who are determined to realise our goals and produce the music of our dreams and of our gut. Our music captures and projects intense emotion from a personal and societal perspective.Our sound so far ranges from atmospheric powerful tom punctuated groove assaults to fragile soul baring laments with much experimentation and grandiosity to come.Concerned with charting the heights and the depths of human experience whilst retaining the ability to laugh at it all.Reaching out from a climate of fear that never loses sight of hope - following a sense of destiny that is strong now as our story unwinds.Aspiration.Desperation.Motivation.Elevation.Humility . Via the phenomenon of myspace and this site we are looking to build up a network of friends/contacts that enable us to take this as far as we possibly can whilst retaining an high degree of control.We are also looking for a special person for keys and sample detonation - especially for live work. Collaborators galore are sought - artists,lighting,journalists,merchandising,promoters,reviewe rs,photographers,djs,sculptors,web designers,sound engineers,accomodation providers,personal trainers,hypnotherapists,masseurs,mechanics,spiritual gurus,tour guides,tayta peelers and faith healers.TA! Get in touch - let's do it.
