SOLID GROUND
Yo yo yo, give it up for our newest signing SOLID GROUND, from Switzerland! Shortly after their formation in 2003, they surprised everyone with their high-quality demo “Run and Hide†which could stylistically be described as a mix of Right Brigade and late Youth of Today stuff, with a heavy guitar sound in the vein of Judge. Being a very tight live act with Europe’s highest jumping guitar-player, they continued to spread their name by rad live shows in Southern Germany and Switzerland, supporting their 7†debut they put out with “Never Enough†from the States.You can check out these songs on their brand new website www.solid-ground.ch . In early 2005 they did a mini tour with “The Promiseâ€, and left an awesome impression wherever they hit the stage. In May 2005 CARTHAGO will drop their bomb of a debut LP entitled GET USED TO IT (under license of www.ds-recordings.de )! Be prepared for an even harder sound with more groovy dance-parts than before, and a wall of back-ups. Don’t forget to check them out on their upcoming European-tour with “Paint the Town Red†and “Awokenâ€, or at one of this years’ superb festivals, like “Light the Fuse†or “Break Down the Wallsâ€.
