Every once in a while, for every six metal-heads, four indie-rockers, three punk-rockers and eight odd nu-age maniacs will come a band that will be fired by the traditions of classic rock and feel the burning need to restore the screaming guitar licks and reverb laden drum sound of the 60s and 70s to their former glory. Solder from Bangalore is decidedly this kind of band. Born of talents that they displayed as youngsters these guys have taken to their guitars and drums as a duck to water.

Writing listener-oriented feel-good straight-ahead rock, these guys are as much about their own originals are they are about covering their favourite rock gods. Bringing in layers of vocal harmony over textured guitars gives them their signature sound. While being rooted in classic rock traditions every once in a while they do foray into what they call �modern indie' sounds as well. And that's what makes their sound a melange of the old and new.
