"Some really good bands are coming out of Cork at the moment and Silo are destined to be one of those who go national."

"Silo are very good at what they do – it is loud, it is pumping and it is full, oh so full of angst ... their popularity is more than justified"
www.redtrackmusic.com (Oct '08)
"It's punky, it's raw, it's honest, it's not complicated. I love it to bits."
Cormac Battle on "Unlucky for Some", 2fm (Feb '09)
"... full of energy and attitude"
Jackie Hayden, Hot Press (Dec '08)
"... if they'd been around [Seattle] in the mid-'90s, Sub-Pop would've signed them in a heartbeat. Tight and turbulent, 'Unlucky for Some' has a dark, angsty, throw-yourself-around-the-room energy."
Olaf Tyaransen, Hot Press (Jan '09)
"...I'm glad this band was brought to my attention. They are the best Irish band I have heard since I laid ears on Berkeley a few years ago, who coincidentally share a similar '90s post-indie rock sound as Silo. Just because you don't live in Ireland, that is no excuse not to support this band."

Silo are a four-piece rock band from Cork, Ireland. Since being formed in 2001 by Philip Murphy and Eoin Ryan, with the later addition of brothers Shane and Cian O'Leary, the band has developed into one of Cork’s premier original acts.
An early demo saw the band being picked for the National Student Music Awards in 2008. Later in 2008 the band recorded and released their debut single "Unlucky for Some" to a vibrant reaction from the Cork music scene and 2009 will see the band build on this success throughout the rest of the country.
The band were "Pick of the Fortnight" in Jackie Hayden’s First Cuts column in Hot Press for the same single which led to it receiving regular airplay on many Irish radio stations, both local and national. The single also received an extremely positive review in the following issue of the magazine.
Silo recorded a live session for Cormac Battle's 2fm show in early 2009, showcasing some brand new material which will be featured on their upcoming debut album. Work on said album is heavily underway and the band is booked in to begin recording in July 2009.

Hey lads, how did the recording up the north go? Must give the 2fm sessions a listen, i don't have any headphones now but I'll sort that little problem out later....
If ye're up to nowt on Friday, pop away down to Cyprus Avenue. Ourselves, Joe Rubix and Sideproject.... [Cue Spam!]...
Hey lads, glad to hear the recording the album went well, looking forward to hearing it. If you're around next thursday we're playing cyprus avenue, should be a laugh.
I've no major plan myself, I'll take a break from gigging for a couple months and finish mixing the album and come up with a plan for it's launch.
Hoping to get as much work as possible producing/mixing other people too from here on in, so i mightn't have as much time for my own music, which will be no harm i guess!
Greetings!
We at 'Clitoral Defecation' are over the moon about the fact that we are now friends!!
Your internet 'friendship,' is very dear to us,
for instance,the non replying to messages,the deleting of bulletins before you read them and
just general ignorance between your lovely self and 'Clitoral Defecation,'
is going to make our day and make us moist......oh so soggily moist.......yummm!
This whirlwind of nonsense of a friendship of ignorance,
is going to be quite the fantastic voyage we are about to embark on!
All Aboard!! *giggles*
Apart from enjoying long walks in seedy neighbourhoods and candle lit orgies,
'Clitoral Defecation' are self absorbed,hateful of everything and completely ignorant to morality!
So please,if youre feeling frisky,dirty,even a tad naughty,drunk or smacked out on your narcotic of choice,
come sit on our lap,tickle our chin and whisper sweet nothings in our ear!
yours sincerely and confusingly arousing

please come in a hear some of corks finest singers
drinks promotions too!
bottles of beer are only 3 euro!
3 pints of coors is just a tenner
and shots are 3 euro.................!
Can't wait to hear the results of that recording, how'd you find the studio, I've heard good dthings about it.
The Chickenfoot gig was fun, people actually paid attension which is nice! The drummer that did that gig with me is playing next Thursday. The marquee was his first time playing with a sound engineer, he had his first gig last February. He's an old friend with bucket loads of talent and its fun playing with him...think there's a vid on youtube of the gig actually.
hey guys, I'm doing a gig in the Pavillion next Thursday 23 July. I'll be bringing along a drummer, ditching the backing tracks and cranking things up, so it should be fun. I'll be doing half a set of new stuff too.
Hope you can make it/make someone else make it!!!
Hows life otherwise...
p.s. Shit just remembered you guys are doing the album this month, correct?
See ye're recording an album, hope it goes well... If there's a chance ye find yourselves in Cork tomorrow night, we're supporting the amazing Butterfly Explosion in the Brog. Hopefully ye can make it in...
