Sounds Like...a proper mash up of all our favourite bands taking the soul of Motown, the delivery of Led Zep, the groove of The Charlatans & Kasabian mixed in with massive chorus', unique blending of naughty sounding guitars and lads having it!! Real music.
Soldier are featured on a compilation album released by matchbox records. It is called "stay in the box." It is a compilation of up and coming bands from around the world and is out now. Its a really cool album with some great songs! So go buy it!

   About SOLDIER
So. They are one serious band. Soldier had been around before with moderate success but had to put things on hold. Thats not your business. The band went away, done some homework & decided what they wanted. After listening to many of the greats and seein what the new bands are doing they had a sense of what was necessary to their craft and where they wanted to be. After saying goodbye to then guitarist, the hugely talented Mr Dan Townsend, the remaining 3 made plans to make Soldier the amazing band they are today... Ross is the drummer. He also plays more instruments than I care to list and is shit hot on all of them. Talented Bastard! Scott is a frontman... not just a singer. The boy oozes swagger and soul and his energy is limitless. He has his own little language and is rather creative when trying to describe things... Could be autistic. Jon. Was formally bass but took on the mantle of guitar because he can. This lad is very good. He is known to have a song idea every 3mins 47 seconds. Likes to experiment with sounds and is a distant relative of The Grinch. Then along came the new boys and everything hit even higher levels of quality... Chappell. Discovered bass after years on guitar. He likes it better. Played with Paul in another band. His top bass lines are known to make Jon forget what he is supposed to be doing. Thats appreciation for ya brother! Paul. Guitar. Words cannot explain this boy. Thinks outside the box. He is the master of the killer chorus & is a song writing machine. His riffs are awesome and recognisable after 1 listen. Was in the Army - saw no action whatsoever. Its now entering the dusk of 2009 and things are really coming together nicely. They have managed to win every crowd over in all the places worth playing in Birmingham so now they are about to launch a phonic assault on Leeds, London, Liverpool, Manchester and anywhere else who will have them. In early November they are gonna spend a few quid on a studio and a very hairy music producer to make 3 brand new songs ready to send out to the world (and many record companies!) The rest of you can buy it...! Now go & see SOLDIER... **************************************************************** "Soldier look and sound every bit like rock stars. To quote a famous movie "The trick to becoming a rock star is knowing how to act like one" and these boys had confidence, style and the songs to back it up. The frontman had the look of Chris Martin but the swagger and stage demeanor of Liam Gallagher as the bassist stood behind him wearing dark shades. They arrived like rock stars, they played like rock stars and they left like rock stars. These boys are certainly playing their cards right." Quote from Ed Hutchinson after gig at the Porta Cella Bar, Bath *************************************************************** "This is a band that have declared war! A heavy bombardment of sound that effortlessly fuses rock, soul and blues. If only they could have played until sunset, the place would have still been rocking and the band still jamming!!" Quote from Salvo Magazine Copyright © 2006 Soldier ***************************************************************

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
