The Solar System is a Psychedelic/Progressive rock band from Warren, MI composed of singer and guitarist Chris Oliver, bassist Brian Arvo, and drummer Daniel Vought.
Beginning as a side project with Chris Oliver in 2002 The Solar System started off as a recording effort as well as a learning tool to explore sound and various production elements. The Solar System, as of March 2014, has released a staggering 20 self produced records. When Oliver decided to expand the band into a full, three-piece lineup, he recruited old friends and former band mates Brian Arvo on bass, and Daniel Vought on Drums. Accomplished musicians in their own right Brian and Dan brought their unique styles and abilities to expand on and synthesize the ever evolving sound that is The Solar System. The three instantly turned a one man side project into a 3 piece power house with a more progressive, experimental sound.
The latest from indie rock outfit Activity has a charmingly sinister feel, blending in stark rhythms and washes of dark ambient. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 8, 2023
Like winter branches lined with snow and ice, Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Teen Suicide)'s latest is delicate, spare, melancholy, and beautiful. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 3, 2018
