SUNSOMA are one of those bands that need a string of adjectives to best describe their music- they truly have a sound that’s all their own, and yet are not so left of the field that you can’t get a firm grasp on their catchy, hooky tunes. O.K here come the adjectives: Alternative/Indie/Rock/Pop-esque - Yep that should cover it.
The band was originally formed 6/7 years ago by Mel and for those with an appetite for all things cultural, the band name comes from a Greek word meaning ‘Unity’. In true Rock ‘n’ Roll style Sunsoma has endured a healthy number of line up changes but their resolve to keep pushing on has never diminished. “ Stuff happens and you’ve got two choices- winge or go with it! “ says Mel “ music is the most amazing art form on the entire planet and we just love what we do “
Last October the band weathered one such change, and found themselves ‘going with it’ as they swiftly downsized into the compact yet fully in tact 3 piece that they are today. Having shaken the dust and with creativity levels positively thriving, these three have, it seems, become more tight knit than a woollen wetsuit.
For the last 5 months the Sunnies have been working away wrting and recording demos for their forth coming album entitled ‘SINKING TO THE TOP’ which they hope to release late Summer. So far it’s a big thumbs up from the band as they’re really happy with how the songs are progressing.
Long may these guys stick together- they are dedicated with a supersized ’D’, have some great songs in there, and really deserve to achieve something notable in the music world.
SUNSOMA has performed at many venues and festivals in London, the south of England and the Midlands, and have continued to impress audiences with their passionate delivery and energetic performances. They have also received radio play from a large number of FM and internet stations- the highlight of which was a live session on BBC 6 music hosted by Tom Robinson, followed by an interview with the ex-rocker himself!!
O.K, other things to impress you:
In 2005 the band were promoted by an Indie label Chromium records, and they released their first digital single 'WIDER' which was registered on the official download chart - the track is currently available to buy from itunes.
In 2006 O'NEILL the clothing and surfwear company signed several deals with SUNSOMA to use their tracks on their promo surf and snowboard DVD's
In October 2006 the band organised a fund raising gig for OXFAM and submitted a short video of the event to MTV who were running a competition to promote unsigned bands across the U.K. SUNSOMA were one of the winners, and were subsequently filmed by an MTV film crew performing their song 'HOLLOW' which was aired between May and July of 2007.
The band are currently promoting their music through SELLABAND.COM, which creates the opportunity for fans to buy 'parts' in SUNSOMA's future album and to become involved in helping them achieve their goal. The target is 50K (£25,000) and the band are determined to get there and put together a really cracking album. Each part costs as little as £5, so if you ever find a spare fiver in the back pocket of your jeans (this has happened for real!), then you know what to do with it! You do have to register on the site before you can buy a part, but once you've done that it's all pretty user friendly.

LEE ANDERSON-keyboard, electric and acoustic guitars
IAN SPICER-bass guitar, electric and acoustic guitars
