The Attic started out as a 3-piece Punk/R&B band in Leeds back in 1988. Not great times. Thatcher was in power and the music scene was stuffed with insipid indie shoe-gazing bands. Taking their cue from a period 10 or so years previously, the band set out to inject some energy and purpose into their music. They gigged constantly, mainly in the north of England and secured support slots on tours by the Clash bassist Paul Simonon's band Havana 3am, Eddie And The Hot Rods, Wreckless Eric, the Lurkers and Chelsea to name but a few. The band received plenty of press coverage and had a minor success with their 'Off The Nest' ep from 1991. Around this time they extended to a 4- piece with Steve Pedley brought in on rhythm guitar. Eventually the band called it a day when sticksman Graham Pickup secured a trial with a Midlands based First Division football club and rhythm guitarist at the time Cat Presley left to pursue a TV career. Ex-Gun Law guitarist BB Tim had stepped in to replace the Cat for a short period but the kid(s) didn't take to the telecaster driven country blues meanderings and the band had to accept their time was up. In 2012, only 17 years!...after the band imploded, Steve, Boo and Pickup got together for a jam in a converted barn on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Things started to click into place and eventually in September 2012, the band returned to the live circuit again and proved that they could still deliver!

BIOGRAFÍA: Soulsa es un grupo Latino compuesto por cinco neuyorquinos de distintos ambientes musicales. El grupo trae una nueva mezcla del rock y los ritmos bailables de la salsa. Una buena idea, ya que hoy en dia hay muchas variaciones en la música Latina. El grupo se formó en 2002 en Washington Heights, un barrio reconocido por su apoyo a la música Latina.

Soulsa contiene toda la energía de un grupo rockero combinado con los ritmos caribeños de la salsa. Esto es algo que fascina al público, tanto al Latino como el anglo. La ausencia de piano y vientos logra darle un sonido diferente y menos tradicional al grupo, mientras que la guitarra le da un toque rockero. El grupo se enorgullece en brindar algo diferente y nuevo al público y se dedica totalmente al desarrollo de sus canciones originales.

Soulsa se ha presentado en varios clubs de la ciudad de Nueva York como el China Club, Nuyorican Poets Cafe, D’Antigua, y Gonzalez & Gonzalez. El grupo tambien ha tocado en eventos y funciones privados para Oscar de la Renta, la revista VOGUE, y Time Inc. Soulsa fue a viajar a Finladia donde tocaron un concierto de 2 horas como artistas invitados del festival Latino, “Frutas Tropicales”.

Ultimamente, las canciones de Soulsa han sido incluidas en los programas de television “Mind of Mencia”, “Man vs. Food” y en la pelicula independiente “Entre Nos”.
