Silvertongue

Bio:

Marching out of the dark timbers of the suburbia hell that is Woodbridge, Virginia, Silvertongue is determined to set themselves apart from the cookie cutter screamo metal, and the thoughtless synthesized pop that clutters the musical landscape. Drawing on the influences of Muddy Waters, Pearl Jam, Mad Max, and Mudgut, this band of heroes stand ready to alter the ideology of popular music. To put it one way, this is a philosophical coup d’etat for your ears that will put a brash smile in your soul.

At the helm of this blues-metal train stand Joe Downer, Josh McGuin, Nathan Biglin, and Camellia Akhamie. Like the four horsemen of the apocalypse each member brings their own brand of oratory salvation.

Joe: With a voice that can both lull listeners and scream out the tones of injustice it’s ridiculous to think that he also plays the guitar with the gnarled soul of a true bluesman.

Josh: Slurring like a drunk Joe Cocker even when completely sober, this insane artist constantly slaps and plucks his bass like a hellion of Bootsy Collins’ nightmares. Be warned, you will turn up every other bass player simply out of forlorn hope.

Nathan: If during any of Silvertongue’s songs you feel your knees grow weak, your face flush, and jaw drop, it is most likely due to this 21 year old guitarists ludicrous technical skill and mind bending squeals. More then once band mates have openly wondered, “how are we in the same band?”

Camellia: Despite her present status in the Navy this thunder goddess can be heard on the recently completed Eidolon doing things with one kick pedal that most drummers alive can not do with two. She will not be easily replaced.

Eidolon is available now and soon to be released on iTunes. Shows are to be announced in good time.

“If Muddy Waters and Metallica had a baby, and that baby had sex with Pearl Jam, and then their baby grew up listening to the Clash, that's what we sound like.”
