BIO

When nothing else can heal your pain, music has an undeniable power to liberate you in a way that nothing else will. Music helps us set our soul free from life's oppression. When Solice was thinking of names, to represent their music, they unanimously agreed that Solace exemplified everything they felt their music would resonate.  

 

Solice has a story the deviates from the norm. Juan and Xtina first met in the spring of 2011 in their hometown of Orange County, CA.  Shortly after they met, they began writing music together acoustically. After playing a few local open mics, Juan and Xtina made the arbitrary decision to leave Orange County, CA and travel the U.S. playing music. Halfway through their travels, while passing through Arlington, TX, they decided to make a quick stop to perform at a local open mic. The crowds reaction was overwhelmingly positive. So, they followed their gut and immediately, they began searching for band members. They found drummer, Ryan Matthews, on craigslist. 

 

Later that week, while driving down the freeway, Juan and Xtina noticed that someone in the car in front of them was trying to get their attention. They instantly recognized him from the open mic they had participated in about 3 weeks prior, so they followed him to a gas station. In the car with him was, bass player, Rob Pummill. They talked for a few minutes and followed them back to Rob's place. Not long after they arrived, Rob picked up a bass and began playing. Juan and Xtina admired his style and asked Rob to jam. Their musical compatibility was eminent. 

 

Solice made their debut appearance in February 2012.  Since then they have taken the music scene by storm. Solice has resonated in the Dallas music scene, with a diverse sound, reminiscent of  bands like: Korn, Evanescence, Tool, Slipknot, In This Moment, and Bullet for my Valentine. Their songs range from dark melodic tones to upbeat alternative or punk beats, all with their own Solice flavor.
