SOLENCE

F**K the Bad Vibes. That’s the motto and mission statement for SOLENCE, a charming quartet of high-energy Swedes defined as much by their endless optimism as their boundless talent.

The group combines big pop hooks with a dancefloor electro savvy and the heavy (but melodic) intensity of Swedish metal trailblazers into a distinctive international sound equal parts hypnotic and uplifting.

The band puts all their energy into lifting anyone in a dark state of mind into a brighter place. A SOLENCE performance is a participatory sport. Audiences are encouraged to sing and bounce along, as evidenced during electrifying sets at festivals and on a sold-out tour with Electric Callboy in 2023.

Markus Videsäter, David Strääf, Johan Swärd, and David “Viking” Vikingsson first built their sizeable worldwide audience from a shared living space in Stockholm. They self-produced each release, including Brothers, the Direction album (which broke them into the Active Rock chart), Deafening, and Hope is a Cult.

Who we gonna call whenever the world gets us down? SOLENCE.
