Silent Reprise

It’s an interesting move for any band to release a concept album.

But for a band to release a concept EP as their very first foray into the outside music world is a daring move indeed.

Similarly, for a debut release, not every band takes on board a top producer like Kalju Tonuma (Neil Finn, Evermore) or gets their EP mastered in New York by none other than the legendary Howie Weinberg (Smashing Pumpkins, Muse, Nirvana). But for Silent Reprise, doing things by the book is definitely not their style!



Hailing from Melbourne, this dynamic 4 piece are one of the most original and exciting acts to launch their assault on the international stage.

Consisting of Sean Tait (vocals, guitar, piano, bass), Ari Bitzilis (guitar), Felipe Serrano (bass) and Jamie Tait (drums, backing vocals),

this talented foursome are making their mark with their debut EP

Black Pen Diaries.



After many months in the making, Black Pen Diaries is a veritable work of art. The 5-track EP manages to take a taste from every decade of music –

the stomping retro rock of the 70’s with first single Black List, the 80’s metal and glam of Hail Daughter, the lush piano and melodies of the 90’s track Goodnight My Hatred, the acoustic ‘now’ grooves of Here Comes Neverland through to the futuristic sample-laden The Imploding Machine.



It’s the musical diversity present in the EP that forms the backbone of the Silent Reprise sound - unique melodies that are instantly familiar,

yet like nothing you have ever heard before.

Explosive, rockin and upbeat one minute, to moody, melodic and

complex the next; their music is sure to make an impression.

Likewise, their intense live shows see frontman Sean working

the stage like a man possessed. Playing at some of Melbourne’s most renowned live venues, including The Hi-Fi Bar and the Corner Hotel

since their inception in 2002, they are also touring the east coast

frequently at the request of their loyal Myspace fans.



For a band that can rock, entertain and connect with you on an

emotional level, then look no further … Silent Reprise has arrived!
