Solence’s lineup consists of frontman Markus Videsäter alongside guitarist David Strääf, keyboardist Johan Swärd, and drummer David “Viking” Vikingsson. They focus all its energy on uplifting anyone in a dark state of mind to a brighter place. “Solence is all about having a good time,” Videsäter says. “Our message to our existing fans and potential new ones is that we want to bring the fun back into rock n’ roll.”

„Angels Calling“, out October 31 via Better Noise Music, is the follow-up to their EP „Blue Monday“ (Better Noise Music), released this past January with three new songs: “F**k The Bad Vibes,” “A Banger A Day Keeps The Doctor Away,” and “Who You Gonna Call? (Solence),” which Houston Chronicle highlighted in their “Top 50 Best Underground Music Videos of 2024” list. It also includes two remixed versions of their hit track “Good F**king Music” by Swedish-based producer MVRE and L.A.-based producer kodeblooded (Asking Alexandria, Charlotte Sands). „Blue Monday“ can be downloaded and streamed here.
Solence returns on „Angels Calling“ with fresh visuals, a new look, and a retrofitted sound that combines the best of their past with a look into the future for both the group and the genre. “For some reason, I’ve always felt like my time on earth is limited, as if I might die young,” Videsäter explains. “Our music is about making the most of life, relationships, and passion before heaven calls us home.”
With songs like “Monsters in My Head,” “MESS,” “All of the Pain Must Go,” and the title track, the band forms a diverse collection of their most highly charged material yet. “We are now the hype squad and the party train,” smiles guitarist David Strääf.
A Solence performance is a participatory sport, with audiences encouraged to sing and bounce along, as evidenced on the many stages they’ve shared worldwide on past tours opening for bands including Five Finger Death Punch, Ice Nine Kills, Electric Callboy, We Came As Romans, and The HU, in addition to festival appearances across Europe (Rock For People Festival, Graspop Metal Meeting, Resurrection Fest, Tuska Festival, Nova Rock Festival) and the U.S. (Aftershock, Louder Than Life, Blue Ridge Rock Fest).
Lauded as one of Pandora’s “Rising Rock Artists To Watch In 2023,” Solence have to date garnered over 370 million cumulative streams, over 940k monthly Spotify listeners, and over 96 million video views since their formation in 2012. The band started by releasing heavy renditions of well-known pop hits from the likes of Imagine Dragons, Fall Out Boy, Ed Sheeran, Britney Spears, and Queen before breaking out with their 2019 debut album „Brothers“. It was quickly followed by their sophomore album, „Direction“, which saw them achieve their first Active Rock radio charting with “Animal In Me” which became SiriusXM Octane’s most-played track in 2020. Octane’s Sr. Director, Music Programming Vincent Usuriello described Solence’s sound as “a dynamic fusion of rock, metal, and pop elements, with powerful vocals, electrifying guitar riffs, and infectious melodies, creating an immersive sonic experience.” In 2021, Solence released their third album, „Deafening“, which showed their range of inspirations from music to anime, gaming, sci-fi, and even philosophy and soon followed with their fourth album „Hope Is a Cult“in 2023. Amidst writing new material for Solence, Videsäter and Strääf have lent their songwriting skills to pop acts including Jason Derulo and Bebe Rexha.
In 2025, Solence continues to spread its life-affirming message. “‘Until I hear the ‘Angels Calling’ reminds us that life is way too short to worry about doubt or making mistakes,” Markus points out. “We never know when our time is up, so let’s make the most of it while we can!”
Solence will hit the road later this year for a European tour opening for Nothing More, which launches November 7 in Finland, along with Catch Your Breath and Ankor. General tickets are available now on their official website.
