"The lead singer’s impressive vocals complimented the bluesy riffs with thick bass lines in equal measure. Salsola are everything you want to see from an upcoming band, complete with strong melodies and guitar riffs which left the crowd in a brief daze." (Spotlight, November 2018).

Salsola are a punky, catchy, indie pop band hailing from the northeast of England.

Since Salsola formed in late 2017 they have gigged in venues around the north the most notable playing the Georgian Theatre for BBC Music and BBC Tees Introducing which was broadcast live on BBC Tees in May 2018. A recent review described Salsola's performance as, "Catchy pop songs with a punky edge, jangly guitars and a palpable energy, Salsola really blew the roof off the place." (Spotlight, October 2018)

The band shared a stage with The Van Ts and PINS during the first Last Train Home Festival in Darlington and are set to play the next instalment of The Songs From Northern Britain in Stockton in November.

Their Debut EP 'An Ordinary Thrill' was released on 2nd June 2018, with the first track 'Give Me Love' given multiple plays on BBC Tees introducing. The EP has a host of positive reviews from local music journalists.

"The emerging band have a knack for guitar driven pop; tender and with a nice tinge of retro indie rock, the EP draws on the best of the music they play live. The five tracks the EP offers up all bring something different to the table, so snap up your chance to hear them live and see for yourself what Salsola are all about." (NARC magazine, May 2018)

"‘An Ordinary Thrill’ takes us across a range of, relationship-based, questions and pop textures. Upbeat with ‘Give Me Love’ and ‘Sleepwalkers’, whilst more gentle in other places (standout track ‘Midnight’ and ‘Dreamers’) this is an interesting EP showcasing well combined musicology with searching vocals and interesting narratives."
