Solace was a hard rock/heavy metal band that formed in 1996 and disbanded in 2011. Solace was most well known in the stoner rock genre, but as guitarist and founding member Tommy Southard has said, "We're not a stoner band, we're a rock 'n' roll band—a hard rock band, a metal band." However, the comparison of their albums to those of Black Sabbath, Queens of the Stone Age, and Kyuss, as well as their live performances at stoner rock festivals such as America's Emissions from the Monolith and Europe's Roadburn Festival, have rooted them deeply in this genre of rock.
