Featuring Street Warriors, Shannon Noll and Albert David (dancer).
Shot in Gunnedah, Street Warriors' home country including the cave of the Red Chief, Street Warriors' ancestor.
Shot and directed by Matthew Cheung for Scope Red.
Executive Producer and Creative Director: Lorda Omeissah
Brothers Abie and Warwick Wright, aka Predator and Wok, originally made a name for themselves as Local Knowledge before branching off to form Street Warriors, on the back of their high-energy, in-your-face Aboriginal anthems.
Following on from the release of their seven-track EP titled Real Knows Real, Solid Rock will be their first release aimed at a mainstream audience. The track, which will be released on August 31, is the first single off their debut album due out in late 2009.
Solid Rock, with its lyrics about Aboriginal displacement from the land and its didg intro is considered a ground-breaking release in Australian rock music history. Written by Goanna's lead singer Shane Howard, it is also credited as the first Aussie Top Ten rock ballad to display solidarity, understanding and the acceptance of a truth previously unheralded. After its release, it picked up ARIA Single of the Year and the bands debut album, Spirit of Place, also won Best Album.
Shane Howard gave the Street Warriors his blessing for the re-mix, and sat in on the recording sessions with Abie, Wok and Shannon in Melbourne. The Street Warriors also opened this years The Dreaming festival with the song, featuring Shane and his daughter on chorus vocals.

[@MissLaurenSmiles]

Love it...it's awsome, and I like this contemporary version of the classic song!

[@twelfthmanau]

you forget that 5 or 6 years in the music business is a long time. What acts that were big back then are still around in a big way, (besides of course the international superstars; U2, Coldplay etc). He obviously isn't on Idol with is a major plus, and hes doing something that is obviously meaningful to him. That to me, holds true way above any pop song. I'm not going to lie and say I'm a huge fan of this type of music, however I can appreciate it.

[@robbiewoodhouse1]

Great version

I didnt think much of Shannon Noll back in the day, but I'm happy he's stuck to his guns because hes made something of himself with substance other than a generic pop song, like most other Idol contestants.

[@lovosazul]

Top stufFFFFFFF!!!!! * * * * * ;) (y)

[@stormbouy]

pretty deadly

[@maroonsman]

I love this music video, but it would've been better if they had gotten the original lead singer Shane Howard from Goanna instead of Shannon Noll. I saw him preform with the Street Warriors at the Deadlys and it was awsome.

[@Swadzang]

ill give you a brief background description of what soul means. Soul music is a combination of R&B and gospel and began in the late 1950s in the United States. Soul differentiates from R&B due to Soul music's use of gospel-music devices and its merging of religious and secular themes. So let me get this straight, you are saying an artist that sings, pretty much only rock, is souless? Well thanks for pointing out the obvious, that would be like saying Damien Rice can't rap or that 2pac cant sing

[@murdi100]

SHIT YEAH

[@Leesidge]

Actually, the brothers are the best part of the clip, Shannon just made them look good...

[@budgawomb]

Can anyone tell me who the dancer is. Great body

[@noteatpig2getha]

lol @ "back in the day"...a whole 5 or 6 years ago? - and he's doing the same thing he was then - what particularly changed your mind about a him?

[@sackland3201]

This clip is too deadly to an original classic song

[@alibechandhermit]

No. Are you?

[@Swadzang]

If perhaps you were referring to the "souless" as defined by the Collins English Dictionary soulless - lacking any humanizing qualities or influences. Then once again, im not even going to bother trying to understand why anyone would describe Shannon Noll as 'souless'.

[@MissLaurenSmiles]

Why don't you get real, grow up and pull your head out from wherever it's been!
