Biography
Loud, true, powerful! That's Solid Rock.
„...inspired by our musical idols, we rock fat riffs and fresh songs of today.“
NOVOID was founded in 2015 in the St.Gallen Rhine Valley as a church band to spread „joy through music“. After several complaints regarding noise level, the 5 rock enthusiasts decide to write their own songs. „We play our own style, but the intention remains the same,“ says band founder Phil Keller.
They love fat riffs with a lot of forward pressure. Their music is inspired by their musical idols. The sound is hard and dirty, the stage show is entertaining and full of energy. Pure and hand-played, with forward pressure. Their songs invite you to rock along or think.
We celebrate rock and the atmosphere: loud, honest, powerful! That is Solid Rock. From the press: „NOVOID's music breaks down boundaries and connects people of all ages...“
