With the undeniable weight and groove of Webb's signature sound and Turner's soaring, rich vocals, it is easy to understand why Solsikk are rapidly gaining a well deserved following.
From the embers of Webb's previous group, Biomechanical, came a determination and will to create and refine a sound that was both heavy, melodic, layered and accessible. In Turner this begn to take shape.
With exceptional delivery ranging from gutteral roar and smooth vibrato through to high screams Turner is every bit as stunning as her voice suggests, providing the perfect compliment and contrast to Webb's dense and furious fret-work.
This sound would be further enriched by the addition of Mark Mulcaster on bass whose awareness and powerful approach added both soul and depth in equal measure to the often demanding parts.
Well known for his speed, technique and power, as a former band mate of Webb, Matt.C seemed the logical choice for occupying the drum stool bringing with him added groove and intensity.
Having recently finalised their debut E.P. 'Volatile Territory' through Klotho Records, it is clear after listening that Solsikk represent a unique voice and experience, eshewing the operatic approach all too frequent amongst current female fronted groups. If this in itself is not enough to provoke enthusiasm, their live shows are sure to confirm them as a serious contender in the scene.
