A moment of silence, also known as AMOS is a hard rock 4 piece out of New London County that blends sounds and influences from 90's rock and grundge while still maintaining their own individuality. With Marissa on guitar, Tony on vocals, backed by the rhythm section of Tom on bass and Reid on drums, AMOS has been playing the local music scene since '07, coming to their current lineup in late '08. The band is now eager to spread their music to larger audiences and gain more recognition not only in their home state but out of Connecticut as well.

A Moment of Silence’s sound comes mainly from the modern rock of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Mazzotta cited Incubus as a major influence, as the band straddles the harder, almost metal-like sound the California band featured on its debut 1997 album, “S.C.I.E.N.C.E.”
“The newer stuff is more nu-metal type things,” Mazzotta said. “We try to stay as hard as we can without screaming.”
It’s a very tight group, Mazzotta said, saying they go back and forth with lyrics and music, playing along with all the ideas brought to the table. It’s a result of being such a close group of friends.

.."The 3rd band of the night was the first to really catch my ear. They were called A Moment of Silence. A foursome that was mixing Melvins-esque guitar riffs with new metal vocals. The girl playing guitar was what really stood out, she had a great sound --fuzzy and low but with enough punch so that you could hear all the notes she was playing."-Adam Wujtewicz (Wailing City)

Can we please have A Moment of Silence. This group of eager young go-etters hails from Waterford & Old Saybrook, CT. They bring back memories of bands like Hum and Far, which is fantastic company to be in. They're in the process recording a record in NY and then bringing their rock solid rock sound back home to CT. This is a another of the bands that will be making up the next generation of music makers in the New London scene, so show your support.
