They call themselves heavy-metal grunge, only because there’s no other way to describe their gritty, gut-ripping, brand of stoner rock. The combatant energy this band radiates on stage is one you can’t dismiss. You’ll drop your phone, dig into the old, angsty feelings you thought you left behind, raise your devil horns, and head bang at all things corporate, bigoted, and unjust.

Solhounds drives a movement of equality and empowerment; one where a five-foot-three-inch woman could stone a giant with the martial punch of her guttural, smoky vocals. Delivering songs from the perspective of the underestimated and under-appreciated, breaking free from the ideas of right-wing prejudice, capitalism, and misogyny, crowds will be activated with unapologetic lyrics over massive grooves, sludgy tones, and doom heaviness.

After a five-year hiatus the Winnipeg-based band is returning to stages to reintroduce a message that has more meaning, today, than it ever did.
