[Video] Solids: "Haze Away"

When I realized Solids was a duo, I was pretty shocked.  No way could two people create that much sound (other than Death From Above 1979). The Montreal based two-piece (Xavier Germain-Poitras on guitar and Louis Guillemette on drums), rip and rage through every track on their new album Blame Confusion released Feb. 18 via Fat Possum. Solids has been compared to Japandroids, Superchunk, Dinosaur Jr., and multiple other punk rock groups but have their own brand of grit and madness that I am digging on very hard.

Check out the video for "Haze Away," the latest single off of Blame Confusion, and scan their tour dates to catch a show in a city near you. I will be attending their show in Chicago this weekend at Schubas, so make sure to check back for a review coming at you next week!
