Sounds of Silence came to be back in the fall of 2002. They started out playing covers in the local bars and eventually took their act to Athens, GA. After a while they realized that people were more interested in hearing their original songs over the covers they were doing. They then started focusing on their own songs and became a strictly original band, playing the occasional cover for the unconverted S.O.S. fan in the crowd.

They won the Last Call Battle of the Bands in Athens, Ga two years in a row, beating out over 80 bands altogether. They eventually broke away from the Athens scene and began playing the entire southeastern United States. They went on to win the Kennesaw Battle of the Bands in 2006, and have participated in many other nationwide events including Emergenza, Bodog Battle of the Bands, Kenya RockFest, etc. They have shared the stage with many acclaimed national acts such as Puddle of Mudd, Finger Eleven, Saliva, Crossfade, and many other great national and indie bands.

Sounds of Silence mixes very personal and emotional lyrics with their eruptive and melodic music to create something that can only be described as Sounds of Silence. Past experiences, relationships, lost loved ones, and hope for something more are just a few of the topics of which they use to reach their listeners. They continue to thrive in the southeastern music scene, bringing a fresh breath of rock and roll air to a country where real rock music has been put on the back burner for some time now. If you’re into melodic, in your face, rock and roll music then Sounds of Silence is what you’ve been looking for!
