From Sweden comes Solewire, a delightful surprise of a hard rock band that is accessible, melodic and easy on the ears. Listening to Solewire will take you back to the mid-90s, that wonderfully over looked period that was post-grunge but pre-nu-metal. This quintet of rockers are masters of their instruments, a number of solos highlight the ample talents of guitarists Axel Engstrom and Anton Lindsjo. The voice of lead singer Johannes Thernstrom is ready made for radio airplay, but the band definitely shows a desire to maintain their indie cred. As long as they keep sounding like this, that's okay with me.
