There was a lady in The Roost before the game last night handing out flyers for her son’s band, The Solar Eyes. They are playing a gig at The Hare & Hounds, Kings Heath on 16th Feb to launch their first album, having recently signed to a record label.

No knowledge of them myself but the lady told me they play Kasabian type stuff and are Blues fans. Found a photo of Juke wearing one of their merch shirts online.

As I say, I’ve no connection to them at all but if their mom is prepared to hand out flyers in the freezing cold thought I’d give it a mention. Always good to support grassroots music, especially local bands and double especially Blues followers.

I'd probably say they're most the way to breaking through ... you will have heard their music on Match of the Day

Listened to them on Spotify a few months back after seeing Juke in the band t-shirt, so that definitely worked, some decent tunes

Here's an article explaining - but yes, i think they've got the possibility of a great future, obviously you need the right breaks, but that's the same for everyone and everything

and Glenn is definitely a Blues fan

""Blues have started using one of our songs before kick off… 20 mins before the teams come out," said Glenn, who works in Worcester. “I was walking through with my pal to our seats. Then I was like, I recognise those guitar riffs!

"Then we got a bit giddy. I sort of wanted to say to everyone around me – that’s me mate.""

Excellent. And fair play to the mom 👍

Blue Nation to break next? 🤞💙

That’s a great break they got with the FA Cup & BBC financially and exposure wise.

Yes, Glenn Smyth ..... also the same Glenn Smyth who got into quite a bit of trouble for involvement in organised football violence

I liked Escobar and Glenn being in Solar Eyes was what first made me listen to them.
Fair play to his mom 👍 [open.spotify.com]
They're coming to take me away haha hehe haha
