The Silversound
NEW MELBOURNE SUPERGROUP THE SILVERSOUND LAUNCH THEIR SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM ON CHEERSQUAD RECORDS
Between them, the members of The Silversound have been involved with the icons of the Australian music scene - from Paul Kelly to Rebecca’s Empire, Kim Salmon to Dave Graney, Tim Rogers to Lisa Miller.
Shane O’Mara, maestro guitarist, has played/recorded with Paul Kelly, Tim Rogers, Lisa Miller, Rob Snarski, Chris Wilson and many more.
Andrew Tanner (vocals, guitar) is a founding member of Seven Stories and, with Leroy Cope (drums), key member of psyche band Sand Pebbles and The Woodland Hunters.
Stu Thomas (bass) is a member of Kim Salmon and the Surrealists, Dave Graney & the Mistly, and he fronts his voodoo surf band The Stu Thomas Paradox.
All masters of their craft, they coalesce in The Silversound.
A slithering juggernaut of gurgling guitars and dreamscape lyrics bubbling from Melbourne's dark underground, The Silversound is a deep psychedelic trip in the melody-rich tradition of rock's golden age of discovery. Fuzzed-up and freaked out, the road-hardened quartet forged their first sojourn during one of the longest, hardest lockdowns on the planet, smuggling hope and tenderness from the gloom; soaring sitars and sky bound propulsion from the depths of pandemic static. From beefy boogie to rainwater jangle, loopy acoustic echoes to woolly overdrive, The Silversound's aquaplaning guitars and cyclical grooves will turn your dull grey matter inside out and your 21st century blues to every damn colour under the Fat Old Sun.
"Close your eyes and imagine yourself witnessing a never ending blues rock jam session at the legendary Fillmore East in the late 60s. Now, imagine, Melbourne, Au, 4 piece psych blues rockers The Silversound delivering it to you with their amazing self titled debut album. This moment is sealed on 'Rider. Think of The legendary Allman Brothers Band.
You got it!! The album is out now via Australian label Cheersquad, https://www.facebook.com/ CheersquadRecordsTapesMGMT https:// cheersquadrecordstapes.bandcamp.com/music" - Rock Radio UK
Feedback/Comments
Loved the whole show. Serious guitar playing. Psychedelic rock great description. Gig was packed .
It was a great concert and venue had a good sound.
Thoroughly enjoyed the playing.
Lovely support set from Rebecca Barnard and Monique Di Mattina. Silver Sound took me back to late sixties psychelic rock, with stylistic nods to Ringo George Paul and John. Some very funky grooves got me moving.
