Your name:
Sam Ellis
- Thompson
Where are you
from?
Northamptonshire, UK.
Name
of band:
Solemn
Promise.
Who
else is in your band?
Dan Hodgkins,
Colban Day and Ash Hodgkins.
How
would you describe yourselves?
Metal-influenced
hardcore. Everyone in the band loves hardcore and metal so our stuff has
influences from both genres.
Who
are your main influences musically?
Basically
a combination of hardcore bands and metal bands, stuff like Terror, Lamb of
God, Trapped Under Ice, Final Prayer, Pantera, The Acacia Strain, First Blood
and Slayer
What
do you hope to achieve in music?
To have a
quality time with quality people in as many places as possible and hopefully
for as many people to have the chance to check out our stuff as possible. Also,
I’d like to eat from a wide variety of takeaways.
What
has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Recording at
Studio 6 was cool, getting our stuff done in a really good environment with a
great producer. Playing with a load of wicked bands like TRC, Polar, Knuckledust, This Is Hell
and Brotherhood of the Lake. Playing across the country and seeing kids go mad
to riffs I wrote in my bedroom is pretty sweet as well.
And
what’s the moment you want to forget?
I was pretty ill
while we were recording our EP, having a coughing fit so violent that I had to
go and throw up was not a pleasant experience just before tracking guitar.
If
you could choose just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it
be and why?
We’ve got three tracks off our upcoming EP up for free download, I can’t really pick one out of
the three, they’ve all got their own feel to them so it’s impossible to single
out one tune as defining our sound. Those three tracks pretty much cover it
though.

can we listen to it?
