“Rock isn’t about getting loaded and acting like a jerk” – Jack Black, School of Rock
For these two, Rock ‘N’ Roll isn’t about drugs, booze or women, it’s the love of music and the desire to get up on stage and play the best damn rock show out there and never stop.
This is Silent State; a unique, straight edge, hard rock band. They don’t believe in being classified in any of the sub genres of rock music; they love to play rock, and they love to play it all. With influences ranging from 54 40 and Peter Gabriel to Nirvana, Alice in Chains, KoRn, Tool, Trivium, and Avenged Sevenfold; the guys in Silent State take something from everything. Whether it’s a hard rock song with screaming vocals, a mainstream upbeat song, a straight up rock song or even a soft ballad; they play it all.
Silent State consists of Rael Linford handling, what is rarely seen in bands, both lead vocals and drums; and Jonathan Birch, who uses a distinctive guitar style… and occasionally sings back up.
Silent State was formed over three years ago when Rael and Jonathan met in another band, Cult Valley. After some creative differences Cult Valley parted ways. After trying fit other members into the band, Rael and Jonathan decided to go on their own; as it seemed there just wasn’t anybody dedicated enough to stay with the band. Coming up with a band name came as a compromise between Rael wanting Silence of Faith, and Jonathan wanting A Blessed State; thus they became Silent State. Now they’re ready to unleash their music on the world.
For Silent State music isn’t a hobby, it isn’t a job, and it’s not just a way of life… Music is life.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Big news! we changed our name! We're now *BULLETS IN OVERDRIVE * To celebrate our new awesome name! We're playing *C-FOX Rocked Thursdays @ The Plaza Club Oct,23/08* With Colette Trudeau (from Live On Release)
This will be the last chance to see the KJB Agents and you'll be the first to see Bullets In Overdrive! Hope we see you there!
.. Hi there Silent State first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people you can click the link below to visit our profile which wlil provide you with more information and also give you the link to our website! I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
