Soulside is a post-hardcore band from Washington, DC, formed in 1986 by Bobby Sullivan (vocals), Scott McCloud (guitar), Chris Thomson (bass), and Alexis Fleisig (drums). They initially performed as Lunchmeat before becoming Soulside. After releasing their debut album in 1987, the band went through lineup changes and recorded two more albums and a single before disbanding in 1989.

Following the split, Johnny Temple replaced Thomson on bass, and Temple, McCloud, and Fleisig formed Girls Against Boys with Eli Janney. Meanwhile, Sullivan pursued other musical projects such as Rain Like The Sound Of Trains and Sevens.

Over the years, Soulside periodically reunited for shows until they released their first new studio recording in 2020 with the "This Ship" EP. In 2021, they recorded a new album titled "A Brief Moment in the Sun," set to be released in late 2022.

Soulside formed in Washington, DC, in 1985, split up in 1989, then reformed in 2014 and has continued playing and writing music since then. After releasing their debut album on Sammich/Dischord, they recorded Trigger (Dischord, 1988) and Hot Bodi-Gram (Dischord, 1989), which were combined on the Soon Come Happy CD in 1990. The band toured extensively in the US and Europe during these years, including groundbreaking shows in Poland and East Berlin shortly before the Berlin Wall fell in 1989.

In 2020, Soulside put out a new 7-inch, This Ship, their first release in 30 years, which was recorded in Prague. In late 2022, Dischord release a 12-song Soulside album, A Brief Moment in the Sun, which was written during the heart of the coronavirus pandemic and recorded in person by J. Robbins in November 2021.
