Band: Eve Sol ~ Rock


Musical talent is everywhere here in Phoenix.  From 14 year old punk guitarists, to 50 something old school metal heads, and everyone in between!  One thing is static, however:  making music for the elation of getting on stage and emulating into music whatever it is that drives the passion. 

No matter what it is that drives the music, my goal is to share and support all those local bands here in Phoenix.  EveSol can be described as a metal/screamo fusion of jazz/funk bass, trash guitars, old-school metal drums, one alternative singer and one guy that is just Decide/Iced Earth in one voice box. It’s this creative conglomerate of genre and individual talent that I was intrigued with.  I was impressed by the band ability to make it look hardcore on the stage. They had a lot of energy and did play some good stuff.  

They don’t have much in the way of online music, however the songs they have on Reverbnation are slow and steady, with the hardcore vox in the middle and toward the end.  Pretty consistent with each song.  So if you wanna hear what they can really do, you should check them out… their next show is at Joe’s Grotto, March 3rd.

Who are you?

We're EveSol based out of Phoenix, AZ

How did you guys get together?

We've been friends for some time, one day we just sat together and threw the ingredients into the air, and voila!

What albums have you released?

None, however we are in the process of releasing our first EP.

What drives your music?

Life, Emotion, Positive energy, Pain, the ability to share.

Give me an example of your music writing process.

Check us out!

How would you describe the Phoenix music scene?

We're trying to go balls deep in the devil's vagina.

Do you prefer playing large or smaller venues?

It does not matter to us, we love playing everywhere we can!

Do you have a favorite venue you like to play?

All of them!

Do you get nervous on stage?

More of an anxious anxiety, as opposed to being nervous.

What bands have you played shows with?

Only those that have played with us!

Do you have a favorite band to share the stage with?

We've enjoyed sharing the stage with Machine Gun Vendetta, Contrary to Reason, Mad dog Tannen, 69 Sins.

Whens your next show?

March 3rd @ Joe's Grotto, come out!

Where do you see Eve Sol going in the next three years?

Pleasing 10x  the amount of ears we do now

Out in the East Coast scene, a band member mentioned in his experience most of the guys that create music such as his and other variants of metal have orchestra and symphony instrumental back round and love classical music.  Is this true for you guys?

Yes, we love all kinds of music!

Is there anything else you’d like to share with the fans in Phoenix?

Watch your kids around water.

And kids, I would like to leave you with this last question, which I thought was an interesting answer. 

What inspired the name EveSol?

We leave that open for speculation, as it has several meanings.

From their Reverb website, they have this to say about the name:
eve Noun/ēv/
The day or period of time immediately
before an event or occasion
Sol Noun /sol/
From Latin, the sun

Interpretation from an individual who has heard them live:  This is the eve of their band’s success.  Room to grow, polish their talents as a group and potential for a great cohesive group in the future.  Like most local bands, all start with one purpose, in one way.  A group of likeminded individuals getting together to create music, all having this same drive to share what they do.  Like an infant sun, each band has potential to become stars.  Whether that band will grow and persist to become a giant supernova or not, first they must become a sun.  So, EveSol, with confidence I can say that your name actually fits your band, you are in the eve of your stardom.  It is up to you how long you take and how far you want to take it.  Any band can get together and play, it takes persistence and creativity to become a supernova.  Our own local, Valley of the Sun, Supernova. 

So keep creating and playing, I would love to see more diverse stuff online!!  And to those fans out there… Keep supporting!
