Their much anticipated debut album 'Broken Brother's Secret Bells' will follow later in the year.

"Infectious, thumping & glorious, with a start as strong as this we can't wait to hear where they go" The Star

"Upbeat disco-era Blondie style tunes, with the phenomenal vocal talents of Aisling Browne at the centre, sounding like a young Aretha Franklin" The Sun

"Featuring the sexy, flame-haired, guitar-toting, Aisling Browne on vocals, Solar Taxi cut a fine line between uptown Brooklyn electro funk and downtown scuzz rock. They are gathering momentum as the hottest thing on the Waterford scene since O Emperor shot out of the traps. " Hotpress
