Radio Silent Auction

“The world is collapsing around out ears” ~ REM

About Me

Radio Silent Auction was born in late 2007 on a mutual vision to rock and not suck, have fun and create music that is real and genuine – it’s that simple.Our sound has been characterized as alternative rock with tones of indie, blues and pop. That’s all bullshit to us. We’re a rock band and it’s nothing more complicated than that.Radio Silent Auction has three memberships. Each of us are accomplished enough in our instrument(s) and our own personal lives. Our individual backgrounds are not important, at least at this time. We want our music to speak for who we are – it’s what defines this band. WE NEED A DRUMMER!!Our music is groovy and edgy, rounded off with melodies and harmonies and lyrical themes of love/hate, freedom and control and personal and social dysfunction. Two guitars provide balanced tone and contrast out front of a rhythm section that commands simple presence and purpose in the songs. Vocals are raspy and soulful, abandoned and incensed, resilient and meaningful.We’re working on finalizing songs for more recording and to play out locally here in NC. Stay tuned and we hope to you see you out soon.
