The New Silent Generation (is taking a break)

DIY or DIE

About Me

The New Silent Generation is a Rock / Metal / Punk project based in Los Angeles, California currently consisting of Bassist DJ LM, Percussionist DJ Taro, Vocalist Crazer, Keyboardist Jotun, and Guitarist Stratoalex.
Contact LM at [email protected] if you have any questions / concerns / don't want us to know your myspace account / whatever.
There is no real chance that this project will ever fulfill any kind of one-dimensional, genre-loyal tastes that the majority of music listeners insist on having. An 'adventurous' band requires 'adventurous' listeners (ie. you should not come here expecting anything).
Please learn to exercise your right to refrain from listening to music you don't appreciate.
P.S. I know this layout isn't very 'aesthetically pleasing,' but MSPaint-fests are unbearable. Less IS more.
