Story begins in 1998 when a three's company of long-time friends; Jukka, Henkka and Toni, started jamming together. As they recall, the music then was like a catalog of their influences; ranging from progressive bands like Dream Theater, Rush and Kingston Wall to a bluesier/jazzier stuff such as Jimi Hendrix and Los Lobotomys.
Somewhere along the year 2002 the music started to change drastically to a heavier direction. Sole Remedy reached a certain turning point at the end of 2003 when three became four. Mikko took the role as a rhythm guitarist of the group. This meant a new approach to the music. Jukka decided to focus more on vocals with Toni taking care of backing vocals as well as occasional leads.
Fast forward to year 2007. First full length album "The Wounded Ones" is finished.
The album was recorded in the summer of 2007. It contains 9 tracks of melodic, raw and somewhat progressive music that might not open to the listener the first time you hear it. But the songs will leave you wanting to listen more...and more. The band wanted to create something new but with a familiar feeling in it. And with a soul and character of it's own. "The Wounded Ones" is a trip to a world with moments of joy and sorrow, bliss and sheer brutality.
A world not so different from the world surrounding us.
After a bunch of gigs promoting "The Wounded Ones" the guys decided to move on and start composing their second album. It was spring 2009 when SR entered to studio and began recording "Apoptosis". The album was recorded, mixed and produced by Jukka himself, which turned out to be more than he bargained for. Long hours, stressfull days and so much frustration nearly took it's toll but the spirit of the band kept him going on. Henkka, Mikko and Toni brought their HUGE input to the table which made the job alot easier.
"Apoptosis" consists of 10 songs combined into a concept album. It is our most ambitious and diverse piece of music to this day.
There are moments of pure metal, pop and even an acoustic ballad. Alternative-progressive metal without losing the catchiness. Hard to believe it? You be the judge!
"Apoptosis" was finished in summer 2009 and currently Sole Remedy is seeking a label who would release it!
By the end of summer 2009 SR experienced it's first real set-back. As of October 2009 Toni would no longer be a part of the band. The band took too much of his time as he didn't feel he could give his all to SR although he loves the music. Quickly after the announcement Sole Remedy found a new bass player: Artturi Sipilä. Artturi is a long-time friend of the band as well as a talented bassist so the decision was easy. SR is currently auditioning for a new singer-multitalent to complete it's line-up!
