   About The Silent


The Silent.

Who doesn't love an ironic name?

The band formed in late 2004 and found themselves in the studio 3 months later recording their debut album, "Unseen". Produced by Grammy Award winner Julian Kindred (Delirious, Rebbecca St James) and mastered at Abbey Road Studios by late/great engineer Chris Blair (The Beatles, Radiohead), the album boasted 3 singles charting in the top 5 of Canada's CHR charts. "Aloud", the bands debut single, sat at 1 for 8 weeks consecutive just prior to the albums release in March of 2006. Momentum was friendly to the lads, and within their first year of touring the band had been on the road with Kutless, Downhere, Kids In The Way, Everyday Sunday, and many other notable acts. They traveled all across Canada, from Vancouver to Halifax, and made appearances in the US at Soulfest and Kingdom Bound music festivals. The band was then asked to record a cover of the Wes King classic "Motivation" for a tribute project released internationally dubbed "Life Is Precious". Their song was chosen as a single from that record, which boasted artists such as Derek Webb, Phil Keaggy, and Paul Colman. They've been featured on many compilations, including a spot on West 49's skate video "I Am Flow", and their version of "We Three Kings" is the lead single from the Audiophoria Recordings Christmas compilation "Out Of The Cold". "Unseen", which is available globally through iTunes, garnered positive reviews from radio and the press, illustrated by remarks like "Good song...it was easy to add!!" (Scott Jackson/ Station Manager Life 100.3 Barrie) and "I love their sound and look forward to working with them and sharing their music..." (Marc Scott/ Program Director KAOS 99.5 Peterborough). Their freshman year was capped by receiving "New Artist of the Year" at GMA Canada's Covenant Awards, where they were also privileged to perform. John Mays (Head of A&R for Centricity Records) met the band at the awards ceremony and commented that "Getting to hear The Silent play live gave me a whole new appreciation for what they're doing. Here's another band that Canadians can claim as their own, but whose music will stand up to any other bands, anywhere".

Over the last few years the band has continued to tour, sharing the stage with artists like Jeremy Camp and The Myriad, in the ongoing process of musical maturation. The Silent's sound has always swayed from ethereal to bone-crushing, and they've striven to write music that lives in the space between the two. With their latest release, "Americanized", they're one step closer. The EP (out March, 2009) features tracks recorded in their hometown of Moncton, New Brunswick, by friend and engineer Jeff Somers (www.jeffsomersband.com) and mixed in sunny San Francisco at One Way Studios. This release will delves into new territory for the band lyrically. "We still don't consider ourselves artistic dictators," says vocalist Marc Jolicoeur. "We present more questions than answers. But...I feel we're a little more confident in our choice of questions this time around."

The band (Jolicoeur, Dennis Prescott on guitars, and Justin Macrae on drums) will be touring in promotion of "Americanized" throughout the summer and fall, all the while writing and recording material for their next release. Essentially: The Silent are working hard to be anything but.

The opposition is directing people away from God every day on TV, radio, in movies, magazines, on the Internet and in popular music.

We have to fight back!

Here is a simple way you can share the Word of God with others:

www.just33minutes.com

Post this address all over the Internet and curious people will click to a simple explanation of God, the Bible and the value of attending a Christian church.

Print the address on business cards and pass them out wherever you go. Make posters and put them up wherever you can. Share the address with everyone in your network of friends and family.

This is yet another tool to help you find and save the lost.

"The Harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few."
Matthew 9:37

Be one of the few. Spread the Word.
