New Zealand band Solstate have created a sound that is fast winning fans all over the planet. Solstate is a lush dynamic mix of hard-hitting rock with a hint of metal and softer tones leaning towards acoustic.

In April 2008 singer Troy McKubre traveled to Los Angeles to work with super engineer/producer Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson, Filter, Breaking Benjamin, 30 Seconds to Mars, Sevendust) in the legendary 'Mix Room' studios.

The pair mixed two songs from the debut album ‘Whispers and Tremors’, including the single ‘Tonight’ which reached the Top 20 on
Juice TV’s most requested chart and #17 on the NZ Rock Radio Charts.

Solstate’s debut single released on radio in 2007 was ‘Alright Now’(featuring Boh Runga) and it reached #7 in the NZ Rock Radio Charts, a fantastic first up success.
The next single ‘Against & With’ also charted well and was included on July’s NZ On Air Hit Disc.
