Solare is a Los Angeles based trio who thrive on creating giant hook filled rock music that is layered with sonic and atmospheric textures. The subject matter of Solare's music primarily includes scientific phenomena and things one might learn about on the Discovery Channel, displaying that much thought goes into everything they write. Currently the band is relatively unknown, even in their locale, but with a shimmering new EP , The Story Of The Moon, and a rampant desire to tour, their should be no holding them back.-DECOYMUSIC.COM "10 bands you should know"

LA-based trio known as Solare features Joshua Johnson on guitar and vocals whose recent claim to fame was touring with Auf Der Maur. The subject matter of their songs is tre nerdyI bet these guys got the HD package with their cable company for the express purpose of watching the Discovery Channel in High Definition. Their songs are catchy with shoegazing guitar laid out neatly and folded amid hypnotic rhythms. Good stuff. - J-Sin SMOTHER.NET
