Leave Me Alone: Bournemouth rockers Solcura rip up the script on ‘Are You In Here With Me?’

Posted on 15 December 2021

With a raging introduction that might scare those who weren’t ready for an ignitable sound of thunder, Solcura are at their speaker-shaking best on the latest single ‘Are You In Here With Me?‘.

Solcura is a high-tempo alt-rock 5-piece band who is from Bournemouth, UK. They are a fearsome outfit that breaks down the fragile door and shatter windows with a gleeful smile on their faces.

”A new, relentless alt rock band from the south of England, bring a genre-melding mix that strays all the way from alternative and melodic hard rock to breakneck punk, from ethereal acoustic to skull pounding grunge.” ~ Solcura

Slicing skillfully through all self-doubts that we all face in this bizarre life we just try and survive in, Solcura turns up the volume and don’t ever let go as they display an effortless style that keeps you locked inside their world.

‘Are You In Here With Me?‘ from the Bournemouth-based heavy-voltage alt-rock act Solcura, is a riff-laden track that has so much mystery interlaced inside. We are thrown into a whirlwind of emotions with a vocalist who has our mind alive, that is loaded with a rampaging assortment of swarming guitar melodies that undoubtedly delivers for fans of this proud genre.
