  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. In the summer of 2008, when two friends, Joel Rozario and Mark Escotee who've played with a few nondescript college acts and scored jingles for ads (without getting any publishing rights for the same) in the Bangalore music scene got together over a drink, or maybe a few more, and started talking about their music and wanting to take it seriously, they decided on a new music project which was later to be known to the world as Solder.They were joined by Akhilesh Kumar, a friend from College and soon enough they started jamming with the intent of writing their own music and playing it Live and Loud.There was one problem, actually two, their primary one being whom to thrust vocal duties on?? Soon, this was solved, Siddarth Abraham came by the jam room and belted out whatever was written till then in his voice. Oh and what a voice that is!! Looks like its a family thing actually, considering his cousin is the bad boy from Chennai, Ameeth Thomas of Junkyard Groove. Soon enough the hunt was on for someone to handle the bass section. A few misses later, they chanced upon Samson Philip. And low behold the line up was complete.And might we add, PERFECT :) Still not sure about what to call themselves, they headed often times to the bar after jamming to see if the spirits would help them with the name, and if a sober Siddarth and Akhilesh could record any of the blabbering of the rest of the boys, but no help there. Then one evening, while jamming, Mark's guitar cable was giving him some problem, this problem refused to go away, and when everyone gathered around Mark to see what the fuzz was, they realized they had a screwed up cable!!So what did we do, we SOLDERed the cable. Aha!!Now there was a name. Solder!! So when someone asks us why the name SOLDER?? We tell them the first thing that we did together as a band, apart from making music, and drinking whisky, was to solder a cable!! And yes when we narrate this story to them, it makes us want to cry!!

Bio:

The Indian sub-continent over the past decade has been nestling an independent music scene, and in 2009 Bangalore gave us SOLDER. Siddarth Abraham,Sylvester Pradeep, Akhilesh Kumar, Joel Rozario and Samson Phillip got together by forces which they now like to call destiny, and started making music almost randomly, and Bangalore saw a band that played their music “Live and Loud” and contributing their two bits to the independent music movement on India. With a line-up at equilibrium and a defined sound, the gigs and the competitions (runners up Strawberry Fields 2009, Bangalore Winners of Yamaha Asian Beats 2010, Bangalore Winners of Channel V Launchpad 2011) kept coming and with it Solder developed a reputation of being electric, energetic and fun on stage. The Solder show is like one big party, completely informal, with the feel good vibe, bringing the house down with funk, soul, rock and twenty-something energy. And with this passion for music and their ability to connect with their audiences, Solder started winning over fans at every gig they’ve played, and made audiences feel the vibe that they call “Live and Loud”!! Often described as a unit of five drifters glued together by music, Solder was born with the intent of writing feel good songs, and belting them out “Live and Loud”. Now with all the varied influences bouncing off each other, Solder slowly created a sound space underlined by groove and layered with vocal melodies and harmonies, accompanied by screaming guitar licks and reverb laden drum sounds. With their debut album in the pipeline, SOLDER will try and re-create the “Live and Loud” vibe on record, and when it does release we can all play it on loop and smile, and make the world a happy place
