The UNSOLVED announce the release of their debut EP, The Gauntlet, a hard-hitting, four-track crucible, brimming with a proprietary blend of searing pop hooks, hammering rhythms, and blazing riffs. This eccentric collision of romantic, arresting vocals and acrobatic guitar playing has thrust glam-metal and alt-rock into a forge to make something dark, new, and hard to define.

In our hubris we reach beyond our means and it’s only a matter of time until our towers crumble and we are once again divided. “Babel” takes a critical view of the effects industrialization has wrought upon the world, predicting the impending downfall of all we have built. Existential dread and anger toward the apathetic attitude of those who can affect change meld to set a heavy mood that is fed by a fast-paced, heavily distorted, riff-driven banger. We dare you to make it through this track without headbanging and acknowledging the gravity of the situation we find ourselves in today.

Strike the Match is an electrifying and passionate rock anthem that ignites the listener’s soul. With fiery guitar riffs, a pounding rhythm, and raw, emotive vocals, the song captures the essence of unbridled rebellion and the thrill of breaking free from constraints, releasing the old so we can begin anew. It tells the story of daring to ignite the spark of change and embracing the spirit within. The song is an explosive musical journey that encourages you to unleash your inner fire and set the world ablaze with your convictions.

The stripped-down B-Side to Strike The Match, Invocation of the Muses is a spell. At the risk of sounding a bit self-important, and in the tradition of Homer and the other epic poets, we like to call on the Muses to provide inspiration. This seemingly simple song is a ritual to call upon forces greater than ourselves, to channel creativity, and to manifest our ideas. In recognizing the power of external forces, it serves as a perfect compliment to Strike the Match’s self-empowering message.
