Silver Medal Massacre were born in Bolton near Manchester UK and are made of Australian, Egyptian, Canadian and English blood.
We are a five piece alternative/hardcore band with an eclectic mix of fast punky riffs, big dirty breakdowns and all the energy of the fiery young passionate people who make it up. Silver Medal Massacre have a sound and live show beyond their experience and are eager to show it. As a band only a year old its hard to get the recognition we so greatly need. An electric live show guarantees to put a smile on any face and begs for shapes to be thrown. The unpredictable front man mixed with the huge live sound makes SMM a welcomed joy to watch, discovered seeing the faces and receiving comments from anyone who witness's the full glory.
The band fully came together in September of 2007 as a first real venture for most band members. The band consists of our lunatic vocalist and front man The Barn a.k.a Carl Banks, Niff a.k.a Amir Knifton rocking his Yamaha Oak Custom on drums, Andy Waring slamming crazy riffs on his guitar with desperate attempts to gut Niff, Piff (The no longer Dreaded) a.k.a David Page our own in house sound engineer, and last but by no means least the bassist and newest member os SMM, The One And Only MG Himself a.k.a Metal Guy.
Silver Medal Massacre started when "Dem Boyz," a group of crazy Horwich heads decided to give it their all to follow the dream. In an attempt to create music demonstrating the unique characters and short attention spans of the band. Ultimately aiming to tour the world and enjoy the party that is Silver Medal Massacre with everyone. SMM are about living free, doing what you want, ignoring the bad stuff and having a good time. The lyrics try to bring to light the problems in the world shunning them and dreaming of harmony (classically). Unfortuantely, We recently lost our compadre Bizzle, however we're still very much good friends and wish him the best of luck in the future. Since then we have recruited MG to take up the great task of being our bassist, and we know he'll live up to the expectations of you guys!!!
Gigging for Silver Medal commenced in January of 2008 and has been in constant flow up to present. We had about 14 gigs posted on the Myspace before we had even played one. Using the first ever recording of "The First OF Many."
The past year has taken us across the country playing in Manchester, London and Bolton for UK Unsigned. Other places we have gigged include Chorley, Preston, Macclesfield, Stockport, and Wigan. During this time we have shared the stage with bands such as:

whats crackin boys? you probably dont remember me, we spoke back last year about doing a show down in newquay... we'll im in exmouth now and the offer still stands =]
Silver Medal Massacre's performance last night at the Victoria Hotel, Stoke, was one of phenomenal standards, with a setlist that was bursting with pure metal energy.
Barn, lead vocalist was especially charismatic, an excellent frontman, who's energy could be compared to the music SMM were playing.
The rest of the band were also in their prime. Andy & Piff (Guitarists), and Bizzle (Bassist) played tightly with drummer, Niff, and the band overall had an overpowering and thunderous set.
I believe a bright future is in store for these lads, who can only get better and better.
