About Us
------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
"Caught In The Silence locked away in an empty dark room searching for a hole leading to a source of a soundwave. Noises off from each and every angle broke only into the first layer of thick walls of the room. We wanted noises, we needed something to drive, amplify and pierce through the thick walls that kept us locked inside. Therefore, the band is formed. Delivering distortions, the high and the low frequency soundwaves and the clashes of the hi-hat, crash and ride"

It has always been a desire for each of us to perform and make music back in the high school days. Eric has been on guitars on almost every scene of performance during high school which was an esteem booster for secretly music lovers together with SC, someone which completely made a drummer out of a drummer wannabe himself.
They then thought of making a band which maybe someday get to play in the real world. With all the passion and will to strive along making music together as a band to perform, they both started as music partners in search of pieces to fill up. Tom was approached and they got him to play bass. They happen to have little open performances, and yes, without a permanent vocal.
Years later, in 2005, Ken who was a friend of theirs, decided to give it a try on vocals. It came clean that the band is finally on. Our first encounter to the making of the band was choosing a name for it. We all agreed to name the band Caught In The Silence. Tom then decides to switch to guitars, for we have Peter on bass for us on live performances.
We did our practices, mostly cover songs to find which genre we really adore, because it’s a ‘WE’ thing now. We practiced hard, and decided that there’s no other better music than not faking and giving ourselves out while performing, screamo/rock/post-hardcore is what we are today.
After writing a few songs of our own, we’re blessed that it sounded great after a year of song alteration. Upon our hard work, gigs were made by the studio manager. He was kind to put us in every gig on his hands. Not forgetting the times we shared the stage with one of Malaysia’s top bands (Love Me Butch) and two other foreign bands (A Vacant Affair from Singapore and Calerway from Australia) at JamAsia.
Then, after the sophomore era of the band, we made it an ecstasy to perform everywhere. We were also invited by some event organizers to perform on their events. The desire of wanting more recognition was buried in our minds. Caught In The Silence then produced an EP entitled ‘Chalkboard Visionaries’ which was inspired by one of our friend, a professional photographer. We sold many copies and the demand is still coming. We decided to make our own album which will take even greater effort in production. Hence, taking us one step further in the local music scene.
