Silent Reprise is Hibernating

About Me


It’s a daring 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 bold move indeed. Similarly, for a debut release, not every band takes on board a top producer like Kalju Tonuma (Bodyjar, The Hot Lies) or gets their EP mastered in New York by the legendary Howie Weinberg (Smashing Pumpkins, Muse, Nirvana). But for Melbourne band Silent Reprise, doing things by the book is definitely not on their agenda.
Hailing from Melbourne, this dynamic four piece are one of the most original and exciting acts to make their foray into the worldwide music scene. Consisting of Sean Tait (vocals, guitar, piano), Ari Bitzilis (guitar), Felipe Serrano (bass) and Jamie Tait (drums, backing vocals), this talented foursome are set to make their mark with their debut EP Black Pen Diaries.
Many, many months in the making, Black Pen Diaries is a veritable work of art. This 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 at once familiar, however is 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 are their intense live shows, which sees frontman Sean working the stage like a man possessed. The band have already played at some of Melbourne’s most legendary live venues, including The Espy and the Corner Hotel, and have had toured the east coast frequently at the request of their loyal Myspace fans.
So if your looking for a band that can rock, entertain and connect with you on an emotional level, then look no further … the silence has arrived!
When you're in the dark the Silence will prevail.........
