4 out of 5 stars A good EP, shows lots of promise.......2003-08-05

This music is a bit mellower than most music I listen to, but was led to it because I'm a fan of Samiam and like the guitarist common to both bands. I was very impressed with the songwriting and musicianship on this EP, and also like the vocals... not whiny at all (PLEASE let there be NO MORE WHINY BANDS!!!), just a good ol' rock singin' voice.

At first listen, on the surface the songs sound like your ordinary alternative rock songs, but there's an element that these songs have that others don't. There's a subtle but unique flavor that this band brings to their songs that helps to distinguish them, and it's when the band lapses into these moments that I like them best... certain crunchy baselines and drum fills, hard to describe but if we were listening to it together I could say "That right there is what I'm talking about."

Only gets 4 stars for a couple reasons... first people throw out 5 star ratings like they grow on trees, have you ever heard of grade inflation? And second, I think this band could lose a bit more of the "pop" element that makes their songs sound a bit predictable and dull at times, but that's just my opinion... I'm sure it's that "pop" element that helps make them accessible. Looking forward to more from this band.

This is the first release from Solea a new band with Garrett Klahn from Texas is the Reason and Sergie Loobkoff from Samiam and knapsack. The songs are solid rock songs that are either pull at your heart strings, make you think about life or cheer you up - all while rocking. The second song is very kind kind of early Weezer and there's something sort of Promise Ring-esque as well.

I saw them open for Idlewild in March and they were really good live. Hope they come back soon.

The EP a great intro to a new band that I hope to hear more from VERY soon.

5 out of 5 stars Finally!.......2004-03-17

After spending years playing Texas Is The Reason over and over and over again, we finally get something new with that familiar voice. If you like Texas and other similar bands from the '90's, get this disc. You will like it.
