Performing at the Stone Pony on tour with Against Me! in 2014

Louisa Rachel Solomon is the lead singer of The Shondes, an indie punk band from Brooklyn, NY. Solomon is known for being a Jewish musician who is outspoken about opposing the occupation of Palestine.[1][2][3][4]

AfterEllen compared Solomon's vocals to Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney.[5] Depth of Field Magazine called her voice "nothing short of breathtaking...giving the impression that she’s speaking directly to each and every individual listener."[6] Performer Magazine's review of The Red Sea praised Solomon's vigorous vocals on the first half of the album, but criticized their monotony as the album progressed.[7] Solomon self-identifies as queer.[8]
