Active Years: 1997-Present
In 1997, Seattle-based Tooth & Nail Records was helping to launch the career of groups like MxPx and Staflyer 59, but their ever-increasing roster was also mounting in diversity. Tooth & Nail decided they needed an entire new outlet for their hard music groups, and formed Solid State Records. Bands like Strongarm, Overcome, Zao, Living Sacrifice and Training for Utopia were quick to join the roster, while the label boasted everything from metal to hardcore and screamo, with each release helping to establish Solid State further in the heavy music community.
Since the start, the label has been quick to pick up young and promising acts, and eventually breed success from their potential. Bands like Norma Jean and Underoath have developed into Solid State's most successful and promising groups as they have evolved and matured with the label. Today, Solid State's bands can be seen anywhere from Headbanger's Ball to Fuse, and some of the most well-received tours in the nation.
