Soular are an American rock band based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Their genre of music is related to alternative rock and Brit Pop. Soular rose to prominence in the Albuquerque area in 2003 by winning a New Mexico band competition sponsored by the state's largest alternative rock radio station at the time, 103.3 KTZO, The Zone. Their self-titled debut album featured the single "Why" which quickly went into heavy rotation on the station, attracting much interest from fans and several record labels. In 2004, the band released their second album, Time & Space, which climbed the CMJ college music charts throughout 2005.

In 2006, Soular released their EP Waiting For Tomorrow, which, like its predecessor, garnered much attention in the college music scene both in the US and the UK and, once again, from several record labels. In mid-2006 Soular were signed to Astonish Records.

Soular recently completed their first full-length CD, Love Crash Heal, which was released on April 10, 2007.

Soular has also released their first music video for the song "So, This is the Way it Feels".
