The Soldier Thread was an indie pop band from Austin, Texas. Since its formation in late 2007, the quintet has already undergone quite an alteration in style from a true indie sound to more of a pop sound. Songwriter/pianist/guitarist Justin McHugh and guitarist Todd Abels used close ties to recruit violist/singer Patricia Lynn and drummer Drew Vandiver and began recording tracks for their demo EP Fevers and Fireworks. Soon after, bassist Chance Gilmore joined. After garnering enough attention from the EP, the band was given the opportunity to record their debut full-length album, Shapes.

Patricia has close ties to Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October, and was featured in the song "The Follow Through" from their 2011 album Any Man in America. She also traveled with Blue October on their acoustic tour in Spring of 2011.
In June 2011, the band gained a bit of attention when their new song "Anybody", which features Austin local rapper Zeale, was featured as a Staff Pick on 101X (KROX-FM), an Austin alternative rock radio station.
The Soldier Thread released their second album, In Spades, in 2012.
In November 2012 The Soldier Thread broke up. Patricia Lynn moved on to start a new band with Dwight Baker called The Wind + The Wave.
