The third time is the charm, the saying goes, and Solea definitely put pay to that old saw. With their new band, singer Garrett Klahn - late of emo pioneers Texas Is The Reason and NYC garage pop-rockers the New Rising Sons - and Samiam / knapsack guitarist Sergie Loobkoff have crafted what is perhaps their best and brightest music to date. Since forming in 2002, Solea have already released a number of EPs and 7"s around the world and played countless live dates, resulting in a substantial international fan base as well as ecstatic critical praise from Alternative Press and The Big Takeover, which declared the band to be incisive and alluring. "Smart, organic guitar rock that's not predisposed to any particular niche."
