Statik Silence

Bands get one chance to make a first impression. The pressure mounts when a band of veteran musicians has set their sights and sounds higher than ever before. Statik Silence strikes gold with their self-titled, debut EP, and gives listeners every indicator that this great first impression is sure to last. This hard rock five-piece has shared the stage with acts spanning from Papa Roach to Shinedown to Sevendust, and you will know why after listening to their first effort. Produced with the seasoned finesse of Clint Lowery (Sevendust, Call Me No One), it sits comfortably in the center of your radio dial without sacrificing musicianship. Their sound draws on elements that make it somewhat unclassifiable, but it remains completely accessible. Most of all, it is their own. Each track wears catchy hooks coated in the impressive lead vocals of David Marin, whose melodic craftsmanship adds a flavorful twist to their driving rock sound. Layered with delicate harmonies and gritty rhythmic guitar riffs (Danny Begley), you’ll find yourself both with chills and a desire to head bang, a rare combination in today’s scene. Kinetic guitar solos (Zack Kenworthy), tasteful bass lines (Ed Willock), and powerful drum work (Ed Lewis) complete their sound, emerging through the “statik” of the evolving music landscape, and silencing claims that original rock music is dying. The album’s opener and single, “When It’s Over,” is a flawless showcase of what defines Statik Silence. It’s easy enough to sing along to, but scrapes along the edge of metal’s gutsy feel, covering the rock music spectrum from end to end. “We’ve known who we are as individuals, but figuring our collective identity is what lead to this album,” said Marin. “The fusion is what helps stretch across so many subdivisions of rock”. Their self titled EP is now available on iTunes, Amazon MP3, Google Plus, Spotify and XBox Live.
