Recently selected as Portland Oregon’s 2015 Best Emerging Alt Rock Band by The Deli Magazine, LiquidLight has momentum and they aren’t stopping any time soon. Their recently released first full length album, Uninitiated, showcases a band with tremendous potential as a pop-rock powerhouse. Referencing post-punk and alternative bands such as Husker Du and The Replacements, LiquidLight has been described as “melodic, thoughtful and jingle-jangly as well as shred-crazy and powerful”. In an age where popular culture pushes to “out-extreme” the latest and greatest, LiquidLight pursues balance and clarity with respect to great rock tradition. With a high standard of execution, strong melodies and elements of psychedelic and alternative influences, the music conveys a new, yet referential optimism. “LiquidLight has managed to produce an album that is not quite like anything else hitting your eardrums lately” - Eleven Magazine Songwriters Anthony Medici and Cory West, both Berklee College of Music alums, honed their craft while performing with bands in Boston and along the East Coast. They are each highly accomplished multi-instrumentalists backed by an explosive and versatile rhythm section - drummer Zack Rodrigues and bassist Gage Dean. Medici's lead vocals lend a cryptic yet powerful element to the sound and structure of the band, echoing the melodic sensibilities of the college/alternative era.

Sol Zimmerdahl joined a band with Kial Collins and Ben Judge in 2004. The group went through a plethora of band names through it's first years; Vicious Cycle, the Convicts, and Bane among others until deciding on "The ABNORMS" in 2006, a decision made just in time for the first rough demos. The first album was self titled and locally recorded with the original three piece in 2008, but was never made available to the public. Because of internal struggles ranging from differences in vision to lack of proper motivation, The ABNORMS didn't release an album till the turn of the year in 2013 at a well attended show at the Hawthorne Theater. Shortly after that album entitled "Reborn Through Strife" was released the band split again for the third time in its history while attempting to promote the new material. One year has passed since then and Sol Zimmerdahl has picked up the ABNORMS again, this time adding new members Dylan Valentine and Anthony Medici.
