Solex is an Australian hip-hop MC from Far North Queensland. His real name is Brian Bishop. Solex has been making music from the age of 17 when his older brother first introduced him to Australian hip-hop.

Heavily influenced by his unique childhood growing up on Thursday Island in the Torres Strait, and then moving to Townsville - Solex often refers to the North Queensland lifestyle in his music.

Solex soon became a regular on the growing hip-hop scene in Townsville performing alongside artists including DNA, The Vexed, and Buttah with Skratchhound Productions. He performed regularly in battles and local gigs while perfecting his lyrics and main interests in songwriting.

He soon began booking the local support slot for national artists such as the Hilltop Hoods, Bliss 'n Eso, Drapht, M-Phazes and Muph & Plutonic. He also performed at several festivals and events across Queensland including Grooving the Moo in Townsville, River Sessions in Mackay, and the Australian Kiteboarding Championships in Gladstone.

His songs have been played on Home & Hosed on Triple J and ABC Local Radio, and he is a regular music contributor to several North Queensland magazines and newspapers.

Going from strength to strength, Solex recently secured his first support of an international act, supporting swedish hip-hop stars Looptroop on a 2011 New Years Eve gig in Brisbane. With his Day Till Night mixtape doing the rounds, a new single Words I Speak released online, and his debut album Opportunity Knocks set for release in April, we can expect to see big things from this young and talented artist.

 
The Funkoars are back 'n badder than ever and are set to unleash their highly anticipated fourth album 'The Quickening' on Friday 16th of September through Golden Era Records. Fresh off the back of releasing their thumping first single 'Where I Am', The Funkoars are proud to announce "The Quickening Album Launch Tour" which will see them touring extensively throughout the country from September through November.

Known for having one of the most dangerous shows in the business, The Funkoars will be performing an all-new live show incorporating songs from The Quickening as well as their claaaassic material that forged them one of the biggest cult followings in the country.

Joining The Funkoars on the road nationally is Golden Era label-mate Vents (Marked For Death out now), Broken Tooth Entertainment's Ciecmate (Game Over out now) and Adelaide newcomers Mase & Mattic (Sound The Horns out now).
