Desert City Silence

Desert City Silence was formed in Winter 2006. Its founding line-up was James Thaw (bass), Tim Gardiner (drums), Rob Merhej (guitar) and Stuart Tate (guitar). They had originally intended to be an old-school rock band, having all been brought up on late 60s-80s "heavy" music, but their songwriting soon departed from such a narrow path. Dave H-S (lead vocals) joined soon after their formation and their sound broadened to contain sections influenced by styles as wide-ranging as blues rock, stoner, southern metal, post-hardcore, doom, and prog rock.Rob Merhej left the band after recording their first live demo. Desert City Silence were soon joined by Dave Cookson as his replacement, and the songs took on new dimensions of ambition for the band, who continue to experiment with a diversity of riffs and rhythms, all played as loud as possible.They are, as ever, looking for more fucking shows. Perpetually.And they are heading into the studio in late Spring/early Summer 2008 to put down a half-hour EP that they hope will represent a step forward in their playing and performance. And tear people a new arsehole.In conclusion, Desert City Silence: subtlety = some .... noise = more.
