Silence is a pop alternative band from Los Angeles, CA whose sound can be best described as a serious-tone progressive soundscape overlaid with a unique character signature vocal. Silence is made up of vocalist/frontman Tino Anglade, keyboardist Jon McBride, guitarist Stephen Freund, drummer K.D. Daryaie and bassist David Thrailkill. Our first album was produced by legendary Psychedelic Furs guitarist John Ashton and features the KROQ world premiered single “Dream Girl.†Guest appearances on this album feature Ashton, A Flock Of Seagulls guitarist Eddie Berner and Christian Death drummer George Belanger. This album was later split into 2 EP’s and released by Nitric Records in 2008 and 2009.
Our 2008 debut release was received exceptionally well by both fans and the media. It has been described in the music press as “a masterpiece,†“some of the best alternative songwriting,†and “nothing short of genuine.†In 2008 the Silence fan base, airplay and media coverage grew from the domestic to the international level.
Our second release, EP 2.0 came out in March 2009. It features the new single "Only You And I" which was produced by accomplished L.A. producer and engineer Carter William Humphrey (Rod Stewart, Brian Wilson). Subsequent to this latest release, bassist Matt Piper has been added as our newest band member who will play and write on our next body of work. Stay tuned…..
