Softsilence

About Me

Led by singer / songwriter Bryan Dixon, Softsilence emerged in California early in the 21st Century. Flaunting a sleek, '80s-influenced combination of synth-pop and dreamy piano ballads, while emphasizing group dynamic over individual spotlight. Softsilence is a 4 peice band that draws parallels to Coldplay, U2 and other like minded bands with impassioned vocals and stirring alt-rock songcraft. After posting several demo recordings online, the bands lively hooks and youthful enthusiasm had gathered them quite a following by 2007's end, while also catching the attention of UCLA Radio's- Dj Octoon, who later invited Softsilence to the station and named the group, Best Unsigned Band of 2008. At the end of 2008, Softsilence also opened for Hoobastank and later the following year, won 1st place at a highly competitive Battle Of The Bands competition held in Ventura County California. With atmospheric, effects loaded guitar work, anthemic drumming and the uncontrollable stage presence of Bryan Dixon, Softsilence creates a new world that feels vast, and yet absolutely personal.Copyright © 2009 Softsilence.
