In short: anything goes for the members of Sole Remains. Of course under the condition that the majority of the band members involved in the composition agree with the arrangements of the instruments and the music. We surely would not like to constrain ourselves to a certain style but because of our current lineup we�re already pushed in a certain direction. We�re actually a metal band so most of our songs will be categorized under that header. So if you�re looking for a metal band for an idea of yours you shouldn�t hesitate to contact us. We do expect that the music answers to certain musical and technical demands. These demands are mostly based upon the explanation why you would place a certain part at a certain position in a song. It should always improve the composition in its whole or partially. The exception would be the artistic explanation if it�s thoroughly grounded. Are you unsure of the meaning of this text? Don't hesitate to contact me by phone or E-mail.

Why this name?
It just came to us ;)
Do you play live?
Yes, wherever we can, very much, some.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Do we need this debate? If I like a cd I buy it. mp3's offer a chance to listen to a whole cd before making a decision.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
At this point, probably ;)
