About Me

“The Silents revel in short sharp bursts of garage rock, messy enough to get the blood pumping, but with enough pop that you could still listen to them in a car with your mum. Imagine a play-off between the Hoodoo Gurus and Television, with the major prize being more beer. Despite hailing from Perth, they somehow take on the hometown hero’s persona, and latest single 23 succeeds in raising the room temperature up a few notches.”MITCH ALEXANDER Rave Magazine BrisbaneHailing from Perth, The Silents’ psychedelic, rock influenced sound boasts a maturity that has quickly captured attention. With swinging beats, barking guitars and weaving harmonies The Silents channel their unique ideas and thoughts into that age old musical smoke signal, the Pop Song.
The foursome released their debut ep ‘Flicker and Flames’ in 2006 with lead track ‘Nightcrawl’ being added to high rotation on Triple J and community radio around the country. This impressive introduction - a mix of raw rock and roll sitting hand-in-hand with hallucinatory, melancholic ballads was also the beginning of a strong live following.
The Silents are currently writing and recording new tracks for their debut album on Ivy League Records due for release later in the year.
