Five Silent Miles

A Poetheoretical Experience

About Me

Five Silent Miles are comprised of four people who love to make a lot of noise, and who much prefer the metric system. The music they write is a direct consequence of a tremendous pre-occupation with North America, the mid-nineties, and the sounds of its time.
Their performances have enjoyed comparison to At The Drive-In and Sunny Day Real Estate, and professional highlights to date have been playing with New-York art-rock band Meneguar, and local head-turners Desert Hearts and Coda.
