Solea

American music group whose lineup includes members of Samiam and Texas Is The Reason; reviewed live in Berlin on 16 June 2002.

Performed at Wild at Heart, Berlin on 16 June 2002 in front of about 100 people. Review notes the lineup includes members of Samiam and Texas Is The Reason. The reviewer described the set (7 songs plus a solo instrumental cover) as roughly thirty minutes long and characterizes the sound as softer/emopop rather than abrasive emocore. The review also mentions an 8 € entrance fee and that the band covered a Marshall head and cabinet with black tape.

A single DeBaser review (2002) criticizes Solea's Berlin performance as underwhelming. The reviewer expected a harder emocore sound given members from Samiam and Texas Is The Reason, but found a softer, emopop/US college rock style. The set lasted about 30 minutes (7 songs plus a solo cover).

For:Fans of emo/emocore, late-90s/early-2000s alternative and post-hardcore
