Our "emo" record, released in October 2009 by Kids in Misery. Two songs running on 45 RPM. Here's what Andy Malcolm from Collective Zine (UK) had to say:

"The Beach" is a total rager, spoken and sobbed vocals over repetitious guitar parts - one of the most interesting developments in the emo scene in the past few years has been bands injecting more post punk into the sound, and Solemn League come across as a magnificent cross between Native Nod and Wilderness. It drives along powerfully, guitars are intricate yet repetitious, there is no math, just full steam ahead and tightly wound grooves. Flip it for "The Burden" and the killer guitar wanders in on a bed of thumping drumming, love it. It's more of the same stuff, with a little Yaphet Kotto riffage thrown in for good measure and a lovely twinkle part.

(We were quite flattered.)
