We are SOLDIER and this is a high energy infectious indiepop anthem with sharp guitar riffs, rolling bass lines, powerful rhythm fills complete with a chorus and backing vocals which will stay in your head for hours after. A soulful delivery from singer Scott Cooper makes this a stand-out track. Should be Englands track for the world cup finals! 

LIFELINE (mastered)

Chiming guitars and souring 3 part vocal harmony makes this song a firm favourite in live performances. A subtle, yet moving melody has people singing along after their first listen. The drums and bass kick in to maximum effort halfway through and the song rolls onto a inspiring cresendo. A b-side to Lifeline single out in April but we think its just as strong as the a-side. Have a listen... 
SOLDIER 

Time On My Side (mastered)

A brooding stormer of a love song with swagger and feeling. Hurricane is a set favourite and has the potential to be a stadium swayalong with it's hook driven chorus and gigantic outro. Proper rockin and no messin' about!  SOLDIER

Hurricane (Mastered)

'WE LOVE YOU' is a 3:21 seconds of pure pop with clever interchange of guitars driven my a versatile rhythm section. Instantly recognisable in the intro and chorus will stay in yer swede for hours after. This song went down very well at Liverpool's O2 Academy mainstage on a Sat night and has made numerous airings on various radio stations. Can be one of the biggest songs of 2011 if anyone would have the minerals to sign us up...! SOLDIER 

We Love You (Mastered)

SOLDIER BIOGRAPHY 

SOLDIER are rising…

It hasn’t taken long for the Birmingham five piece to established themselves as a major force on the national unsigned circuit.  With credible support slots with multi-million selling artists such as Athlete, The Datsuns and new indie darlings Viva Brother, they are causing a stir in the second city with their melodic, stadium-esque anthems.

Their debut release ‘Lifeline’ gained radio play on the local networks as well as follow up release ‘We Love You’ and kick-started an ever increasing following which gets larger with every gig.  

SOLDIER has taken full orders for their forthcoming limited edition EP and merchandise leading to a sellout.

They have also recently played Birmingham Artsfest on the large Kerrang! Stage supporting Guillemots, which was live on air and are about to film their second video for forthcoming single “Quick Fix To Sanity”.  The band is also looking forward to another support slot with Viva Brother at the forthcoming 600 capacity Birmingham HMV Forum & Proud Mary.

REVIEWS
Having been around, on and off, for three years, the SOLDIER line up’s finally settled down as frontman Scott, guitarist Jon, drummer Ross and former Aquaplane new boys Simon on bass and Paul on guitar and vocals and, last year, got on with the job of building a live reputation, writing songs and working towards a single. Melding influences that embrace The Verve, Charlatans, Zep, Stone Roses, and, I’d venture a slab of U2, with big guitar chords, anthemic melodies and yearning vocals, they’re looking to release Lifeline and Time On My Side in June. The former’s definitely of the early U2 persuasion with blazing guitar riffs, big melody and huge chorus while the latter adopts a more reflective approach with a hint of Kings of Leon alt-country, circling guitar line, ringing solo and a gradually swelling stadium bound melody line custom built for thousand strong swayalongs.

Soldier's big guitar sound is instantly reminiscent of Kings Of Leon. With big guitars, a strong beat and a melodic vocal. 'Lifeline' kicks off with a strong guitar riff, which acts like an early morning wake up call. The verse smoulders and the chorus is suitably impressive. There's not much wrong with this scorching track at all. This is an altogether excellent track. Reviewed by Steve, the-mag.me.uk

Soldier – Lifeline ‘Lifeline’ is not subtle. It’s a direct assault on the eardrums of the hordes of festival goers and stadium audiences that inhabit out fair land (and possibly further afield too). This is anthemic stuff with a football style chant backing vocal that anyone can sing along too (even those at T in the Park who have already drunk their own bodyweight in Tennants then thrown a bottle of the waste product over their fellow audience members). It’s impossible not to admire this level of energy and power. Does sounds like Shed Seven at the chorus though. 7/10 SB, tastyfanzine.org.uk
