When Troy connected with award winning producer Chris van de Geer (Stellar*, Carly Binding, Tim Finn, Revolver etc) a studio based recording project began, enabling a more modern approach to rock/metal by bringing industrial and electronic elements into the tracks.
With Troy writing, singing and playing the songs and Chris capturing the anthemic guitars, drums and vocals, this collaboration has proved an instant success. Andrew MacLaren has contributed drums and programming while singer Boh Runga has lent her deft songwriting skills on several of the songs.
The first song released to radio was āAlright Nowā which reached 7 in the NZ Rock Radio Charts, a fantastic first up success. This and several of Solstate's other tracks have also grabbed the attention of super producer Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson, Filter, Breaking Benjamin, 30 Seconds to Mars, Sevendust) and he has signed on to mix Solstateās next single.
āAgainst & Withā is the radio latest single from Solstate, is currently playlisted on The Rock FM and was included on Julyās NZONAIR HitDisc. Feedback to the track has been extremely positive so far and this radio single is also making its way up the NZ Rock Radio Charts.
Videoās for the songs āResistā and āAgainst and Withā have also received airplay on NZ music TV.
Solstate has evolved since late 2006 into a fully-fledged band. Troy enlisted Dave Clarke (drums) and Dan Insley (bass) plus Zorran Mendonza and Darren Crowe (guitars) to help him transform the album to the live arena and the band have recently been announced in the lineup for the 2008 Big Day Out.
In November 2007 Solstate were awarded a Phase Four album grant from NZ On Air, their debut album is due for release mid 2008 and the band currently have record deals in negotiation in New Zealand, Australia and the States.
