Song Title:
"When She Comes"
(By Solarcade)


Song Title:
"Don't Go"
(BySolarcade)



A "Stadium Aura Band", Los Angeles based act Solarcade is securing a permanent position in America's music elite by writing beautiful, simple songs that gently pull at the heartstrings of a nation. The band is known for their signature sound and lyrics while mixing American rock with a strong Brit pop foundation. Somewhere in between the confident, illustrative guitar playing of Pomilla, the harmonious bassline of Jonathan Hill, radiant drumming of Heath Cooley, and lead Paul Van's sheer, tenor vocals are answers for the soul.

During times of severe conservatism and extreme depravity, and as a kids listening to U2, the band realized their worlds were small and they needed to look outside of their hometowns of Houston, states of Arizona, and countries of South Africa. Solarcade challenges their fans to become more curious about the outside world, question their government, not be pacified by media entertainment, and fabricated pop icons.

Solarcade's non-profit work shows the first signs of dedication and politicization within the band that coincides with their commercial resonance. Van's lyrics on "She" symbolizes the prevailing amorality of our modern society and questions its inherited ethics. Solarcade can only be summed up with one word: Songs. The songs make a strong statement and challenge the listener to "wake up and act". If one is looking for an artist that follows standards then look elsewhere. If one is seeking an artist that who raises the bar and sets the standard, then this is Solarcade…

A&R Online recommends Solarcade


Here's a tenacious band if I ever saw one! And they have every right to be, with exceptional talent to back up their conquests. Solarcade are a retro flavoured "stadium rock" band in the vein of U2 and Simple Minds. Finely crafted songs with intrigue and substance, all with a unique Solarcade twist.
