Solence

The world can be cruel, but SOLENCE offers a simple cure. The charming quartet of high-energy Swedes is defined as much by their endless optimism as their boundless talent. The band channel their collective energy to uplift anyone in darkness to a brighter place and a SOLENCE performance is a participatory sport. Audiences are encouraged to sing and bounce along, as evidenced during electrifying sets at festivals like Louder Than Life, Aftershock, and Welcome to Rockville, and on the sold-out Tekkno Tour supporting Electric Callboy in 2023. The group’s 2019 full-length debut, Brothers, was quickly followed by 2020’s Direction EP, which catapulted them into the Active Rock Top 50. “Blackout” was a huge breakout, and “Animal in Me” (17M views on YouTube and counting) became that year’s most-played track on SiriusXM’s Octane. Their prolific self-production continued with Deafening (2021) and the stunning Hope is a Cult (2023). The energetic optimism of those albums intensified with the fun-loving, theatrical 2024 singles “F**k the Bad Vibes,” “A Banger a Day Keeps the Doctor Away,” and “Who You Gonna Call? (SOLENCE).” ANGELS CALLING is their most ambitious record yet. “‘Until I hear the Angels Calling’ reminds us that life is way too short to worry,” Markus reasons. “We never know when our time is up, so let’s make the most of it while we can!”
