The English Assassin is the musical alter-ego of Philip Solman, whose personal history links post-punk bands to Indie Dance, post-industrial cities to new world vistas, and English cynicism to Canadian idealism.

Let's just say that The English Assassin is a musical magpie drawing together sounds inspired by the late decades of the 20th century to craft songs with something to say about life, love, politics, and death, in the here and now.
