Solid State Records is a metalcore record label, an imprint of Tooth & Nail Records. Unlike Tooth & Nail, Solid State signs hardcore punk and heavy metal bands.[1] Like Tooth & Nail, Solid State is primarily a Christian label. However, it signed several bands with Christian members which don't label themselves as Christian bands, including Stretch Arm Strong,[2] Gwen Stacy,[3] He Is Legend,[4] the Famine,[5] Training for Utopia,[6] and the Agony Scene.
