More Info:
* Loud, melodic music for grown-ups * Driven by charging bass lines, lit by jarringly harmonized guitars, and suffused with plaintive, floating vocals, The Silver plays songs that pound and flicker, that ebb and explode. London-based, via San Francisco, Brooklyn and back again, The Silver is compared to bands like Eels, The Jam, Modest Mouse, The Helio Sequence, Elvis Costello, The Cure, The Smashing Pumpkins and early U2. Heavily influenced by by post-punk, ska and alternative rock, 'Waveforms' - the debut album from The Silver - deals variously with the nature of solitude, the art of self-medication and the anxiety of passing time. Driving, volatile and vaguely melancholic, The Silver has, with 'Waveforms' created an outstanding work of post-punk noir; of hard-edged ghost-rock. The Silver was previously incarnated on the West coast as silversphere - with the haunting 2006 release 'Songs of Longing & Loss' hailed by fans as 'an enigmatic, atmospheric gem.' A move to the East in 2008 marked a shift to a harder-edged, uneasier sound - of which 'Waveforms' is the culmination.
