Evan Bakker- Guitar/Vocals.
ever since he was 10 years old, Evan has been shredding away on the guitar. He didn't have a complete influence until Blink-182 came along. This band has changed his guitar playing for the better. Other influences include Thursday, Motion City Soundtrack, The Replacements, basically punk music. It was the first kind of music that "spoke to him". He creates interesting and catchy guitar parts that go along with his amazingly catchy singing parts.
Keagan Potts-Bass Guitar. Keagan picked up the bass in the summer of 2006 and hasn't set it down since. He was referred to Silent Agency by Mike Michel and auditioned once in July 2008 and again in December of the same year. The second time he made the cut. His influences include Green Day, Strange Friends, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blink 182 and many others. He enjoys playing Rock, Indie, Funk and lots of original music.
Matt Cassada-Drums--
Matt started playing drums when he was 15 years old. Matt loves playing his drums and it is his biggest passion. He first got into it by one of his friends giving him they’re old set. Since then, he has been Rockin on them every day. He started getting into the whole band gig by joining the seasonal temporary bands that he was placed in at by teachers where he takes his drum lessons. after about a half a year he joined his church's band and has been playing in that since. Matt has been influenced mostly by his Idol Travis Barker. He loves to listen to Travis barker in any band, mostly Blink-182(his favorite band) and in + 44, Box Car Racer, The Aquabats, The Transplants, or anything that Travis drums for. His favorite bands are Blink 182, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Quietdrive, and some Offspring but he will pretty much listen to any alternative or rock. Matt got into silent agency after being recommended to them by his drum lesson teacher. Matt couldn’t have been happier when he got into the band, and has enjoyed playing with Silent Agency since. He looks forward to continuing.
Overall, the band works together really well, all with lots of musical expereice. If you plan to listen to our music, then plan to experience the best time of your life.

We've been formulating indie, punk, experimental, and shoegaze rock since 2005, hammering out new songs in old urban basements and carpeted suburban spare rooms. We released our debut album, "Coming Up for Air" on iTunes in 2007 and recorded our second album, "Talk to Me" at Flowers Studio in Uptown Minneapolis, one of the most prestigious studios in the country, hosting bands like Motion City Soundtrack and Metro Station. Both albums, but especially "Talk to Me," were well-received by lovers of multiple genres. We have just released our third album, "Let's Build A Summer". We've played shows in venues ranging from coffee houses, community centers, festivals, fairs, and fundraisers to bars, night clubs, theaters, private parties-- and even on the Capitol steps. This summer (2009) we've projected our name and identity to massive audiences. And currently, our third album (Let's Build A Summer) is getting play time in over 30 states on college radio stations. Our shows are usually very high-energy and involve dancing, clapping, singing, and screaming along.
Our objective is to create intellectual music – the kind that keeps you thinking once the song is over. Rather than leaving you with a nostalgic feeling of joyous complacency, we want to make you feel happiness, anger, sadness – in different songs -- AND to inspire you afterwards. We create catchy and hard-hitting experimental rock, but we throw in well-thought-out, unique, and above all, powerful and moving compositions.
