THE SOULS

The Souls are a Swiss pop rock band formed in 2010 in Berne. The band consists of lead vocalist Jay Messerli, the two guitarists Luk Kipfer and Michael Finger as well as Dominik Grossenbacher on drums, bassist Rease Nydegger and Raly Scheuing on keys.

The band’s origins trace to their attendance at their school and playing together since their mid-teens. Throughout their musical career the band opened for several major acts and played most of the major festivals in Switzerland after releasing their debut album “Eyes Closed” in 2016 reaching number three in the swiss charts. Beside touring in their homeland, the Ukraine and some of Europe, the Band played shows in Singapore and the USA.

After playing over 450 shows in the last decade the band took some time off the spotlight. Their last album "Queenie Pop" was written, recorded and produced mostly by the band itself. The record was released in autumn 2020.

To go one better, their new record "Too Good To Go" will be released in March 2023, A nine song LP, which was created over the last two years.
