Bio
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. .. ....
