The Solo Project, formed in late 1998 in Scottsdale, Arizona, was led by
singer-songwriter Philip Trapp on guitar and vocals. Initially a pop-punk
trio, Trapp teamed up with bassist Matt Trojan and drummer John Marcus.
However, Marcus left after just two months and was quickly replaced by
drummer Mark Stephens. From 1999 to 2002, The Solo Project gained recognition
with over 100 Phoenix-area shows and two short Arizona-California tours.
Adding guitarist and co-vocalist Mike Schey, they shifted from pop-punk to
alt-rock and emo. In 2000, Stephens was replaced by drummer Marty Welker,
forming The Solo Project's most prolific lineup of Trapp, Trojan, Schey, and
Welker. Together, the quartet recorded 2000's æAutobiography,Æ 2001Æs
æLaurels,Æ and their only major album, æBend/Break,Æ released by Rise Records
in 2002. æLaurelsÆ and æBend/BreakÆ are darker stylistically, with metalcore
and post-punk influences at the fore. By 2002, Trojan was replaced by bassist
Pierce Simpson; Schey joined The Format, a rising act led by local
contemporaries Nate Ruess and Sam Means. Despite a record deal, conflicts led
to The Solo Project's dissolution. Schey didn't perform in the final lineup,
which included Trapp and Welker with temporary replacements. After a couple
of shows, Trapp joined Minneapolis transplants The Stereo before forming End
Conversation and First Natural. Though short-lived, The Solo ProjectÆs
workùespecially æBend/BreakÆùremains a highlight of early-2000s Phoenix rock.
