SILVER

SILVER is a collaboration of three Raleigh musicians that began in the fall of 2008. Patrick, Brent and John were all born and raised in the fine state of North Carolina and that southern influence carries through in much of the songwriting. Heavily affected by a “British” rock/pop sound, SILVER has carefully crafted melodies that are both unique all the while holding firmly to their region and place.



SILVER’s debut EP +/- finds a young band in their mid twenties trying to balance honest melodies about the good and the bad, the darkness and the light. +/- gently nods to bands such as Radiohead, Kings of Leon, U2 and Muse with delayed guitars, swirling synthesizers and organs and steady pounding rhythms. A firmly established power trio, SILVER is garnering attention and support throughout the southeast.



"Raleigh trio SILVER captures both the anthemic, British-affected vibe and obscured spirituality of fellow Southern boys needtobreathe, bestowing opener "Beautiful Things" and the driving "Spin Cycle 1.0" with heaps of delay, echoed vocals and soaring refrains. "

- Spencer Griffith - The Indy Weekly



"Every so often a band comes along that doesn't necessarily fit any of our pre-existing labels, and their genuine honesty is both refreshing and intoxicating. SILVER is one of those bands."

- Laura Fausch - The Technician



"Silver's recorded material so far is enticing with an alluring hard-to-categorize feel, but onstage the band's potential is much more manifest. One of the finalists in the recent 106.5 The End and Miller Light Music Series Battle of The Bands revealed Silver's ability to shine live with compelling strength.



It's that sort of experience as you're watching, jamming along, when suddenly something flashes, otherworldly forces kick in, the music gels, thrusting the band and all around them into another realm."

- Debby Jennings - The Herald, SC
