Solids (band)
Open-knowledge reference entry
Solids were a Canadian punk rock band from Montreal, Quebec, active in the 2010s.
Consisting of singer and guitarist Xavier Germain Poitras and drummer Louis Guillemette, the duo released their sole full-length album Blame Confusion on Fat Possum Records in 2014. The album was longlisted for the 2014 Polaris Music Prize.
They subsequently added Guillaume Chiasson as a second guitarist, and followed up in 2016 with the EP Else.
Their only further recording after Else was a cover of Daniel Johnston's "Silly Love", which they had recorded in 2010 but did not release until 2019, when they released it to Bandcamp as a charity single the day after Johnston's death.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Solids (band)”, the useful work is to connect “open-knowledge reference entry” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 13, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q126960007. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014, 2016, 2010 and 2019.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
