Indie Pop with lashings of styles such as Green Day, Weezer, Dinosaur Jr & Biffy Clyro all rolled in to one!. Has been discribed as sounding like early Lemonheads, The Goo Goo Dolls, Sugar and 'like music straight from the soundtrack to an American Teen Drama series!' but you decide and let us know what you think?.

Solvent UK are a four piece band from Cambridge (UK) bringing influences such as Green Day, Weezer, Foo Fighters, The Pixies & Biffy Clyro.
From catchy, sing-a-long anthems to dark, moody melodrama or just good old fashion grinding rock. Solvent fuse Indie, Alternative, Rock and Punk, combining technical ability and song writing sensibilities with an ear for a good tune.

Good evening! I'll be starting a tour in the UK next week, and wanted to let you know.
You may have heard my guitar playing and not even realized it was me. I played with Buddy Holly, and when you listen to "It's So Easy" or "Heartbeat"...well, that is me.
We will play some of the Buddy Holly songs that i played on so many years ago, and a few more! I might even sing a couple.
I hope you can make one of the dates?
Best,
Tommy Allsup
Hi Solvent Uk, Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. Your beauty is equal to the smoothness of a polished gem. As the bliss slowly rises in my incandescent eluxulator, your mere presence has a euphoric effect upon me. Panoramic aromavision is the future. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx. How beautiful is the snowshine in your eyes, so directly current from the static in your mind. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. Please let me hear more of that wonderful sound. The music that flows from your instruments overwhelms me with creativity. Your wonderfully bright soul keep the demons from torturing me. You breath as delicately as vapors flowing towards an attractive flame. So charmingly silky, your skin is like a teardrop on a popsickle.
