ATOMIC SOLACE

About Me

sol•ace n. 1. Comfort in sorrow, misfortune, or distress; consolation. 2. A source of comfort or consolation.All it took was boredom, one practice, and a first gig at a Friday night football game to solidify 4 friends into a band that is now being buzzed as “the best band of the South”. They take it all in stride though, playing each show with the same passion and enthusiasm whether it’s a local haunt or in front of thousands like when they opened for One Republic and Fabolous on the "Crocs Next Step Campus Tour".Atomic Solace has created a niche in the Central Kentucky music scene. Formed in 2006, the band is known for its progressive, aggressive pop/rock. The sound of Solace is a veritable celebratory tribute to both the contemporary and traditional influences of Coldplay, Sublime, Springsteen, and The Beatles. Each of the four contribute equally to the testosterone fueled sound: Joe’s vocals emit both a raucous vitality that seemingly dances with a bluesy undercurrent, Kyle delivers uncorked, defiant bass lines, Brandon churns out melodic lead riffs, and Ben engenders a solid backbeat.While performing throughout Central Kentucky, their ever enlarging fan base demanded an album. The four took their unique sound and hit the studio in late 2007 after hooking up with music producer Phil Wiesenberger. What followed was an album of 11 original tracks duly titled "Left to Lead", reflective of the bands place in the local music scene. "Left to Lead" was well received, undoubtedly because it took one back to an era where songs were more than just auditory pleasure, they had meaning, virtually a soul. The release just fueled the fans fire; they were not pacified and they still call out for more.Atomic Solace showcases some of the most paramount pop/rock covers and originals. With over 125 shows behind them, the list of followers and venues still continues to grow. They have quickly become an invaluable source of entertainment, especially in the nightlife scene, keeping audiences awed and captivated until the very end.With plans to revisit the recording studio, an upcoming tour in 2009, and an invitation to play South by Southwest- Atomic Solace is experiencing a melodramatic, sensational euphoria like never before.Consider yourself invited, may you find your Solace.......[LOVEMYFLASH]
