These self proclaimed 'super skankin action hero's', originating from the Wylye Valley, Salisbury, perform an amazing blend of the finest ska and rocking punk, are the ultimate party band. THE most sexually distracted band in the history of everything, SolaBeat have a punk-fuelled ska calypso style they describe as 'bitchin blends of fly ska beats n party rockin punk rock'.

A band starting off as a 3 piece back in 1998, has since developed into a 7 piece, with a 3 piece horn section. They have become pretty big on the UK live circuit, with sell out shows up and down the country. Their biggest recognition has to be in Salisbury, where they are based, where it is virtually impossible to get tickets for any of the shows there these days (I should know).

Their first release, 'Adventures in Blue Flash', a 10 track self released CD, was a big hit, with every fan owning one. The more recently released 'Medication', a 5 track EP, has a much better, stronger sound. Unlike 'Adventures In Blue Flash', where the tracks were written specifically with a live situation in mind, the new tracks are far more suited for a CD. All of their songs are as catchy as hell and very infectious.

More recently, SolaBeat put pen to paper to sign to Moon Ska Europe, which they've now released their new EP 'Rise On Up' on. November 2002 saw them support [spunge] on their UK tour! Then, after some legal issues, that changed their name from Spankboy to SolaBeat Alliance, just in time for their tour with Whitmore, Mixtwitch and Graveltrap.

SolaBeat headed to the studio once again to lay down the tracks for their new album, 'Island Fire', due out this autumn.
