Solid State Records is a Christian record label, a division of Tooth & Nail Records. Unlike Tooth & Nail, Solid State signs metalcore bands. Like Tooth & Nail, Solid State is primarily a Christian label. However, they have signed several bands that don't label themselves as Christian, including Stretch Arm Strong, He Is Legend, and Training For Utopia. While these bands have had Christian members, they do not cite themselves as Christian bands.
