Silverbacks Announce Debut LP 'Fad', Air New Single/Video "Muted Gold"

Dublin indie punk/alt rock band Silverbacks have announced the release of their debut full-length album 'Fad'.

The 13-track album was recorded with was produced by Girl Band bassist Daniel Fox, and will be out on July 14th via Central Tones. Pre-order your copy here.

With taut rhythms of 70s punk and the freak-outs of NYC no-wave, Silverbacks craft a signature sound spiked with triple guitar riffs and on-the-pulse lyrics.

Fad represents the sound of a band trying to make sense of a noisy and disjointed world - one that competes for your attention at every turn. For them, it has come to be a symbol of what it feels like to try and absorb the world through both fleeting moments in front of screens, and prolonged obsessive periods filled with focus. They pull apart pop-culture in search of new meaning, whether it’s a nod to The Simpsons (Fad 95), imagining a lost John Hughes film (Klub Silberrücken), spiralling downwards into youtube deep-dives (Pink Tide), or making sense of youth culture through The Urban Dictionary (Grinning At The Lid). Much in the same way that modern life can be defined by its unpredictability, Silverbacks colourful, vivid and exuberant songs dismantle their source material and end up in places that you don’t think they will.

The band have also aired their new single "Muted Gold", singer guitarist Daniel O’Kelly comments on the accompanying video: “The video is loosely inspired by early Stereolab music videos. It’s a collection of clips from a few band outings we had near our practice space before the lockdown began. Fun fact, Peadar used to work in a bowling alley. Despite not having played in years he scored 192 on the day we brought the camera.”

New Entry: Silverbacks Premiere New Single "Sirens"

Dublin indie punk/alt rock band Silverbacks have premiered their new single "Sirens".

The song was produced by Girl Band bassist Daniel Fox, keeping him on to record ‘Sirens', we hear the creative spark well intact, with plenty to latch on to. The lushly recorded propulsive rhythm section prompts a visceral response from the three guitarists who weave fuzz-laden riffs, tonally warped solos, and spindly post-punk riffs into the phenomenal mix.

Switching from semi spoken nonchalance to unabashedly catchy glam punk melodies singer Daniel O'Kelly uses these aesthetics to deliver lyrics where he's camouflaging his disdain towards society with his natural sardonic wit.

Of the lyrics, O'Kelly says: "In ‘Sirens’, the narrator misses riots and important protests taking place in his city because he’s too preoccupied with writing the perfect soundtrack for what is happening. He’s equally distracted by his relationship issues, tennis, and his obsession with his favourite band."

The track is out now via Nice Swan Records, with the limited edition AA 7" out on 31st January 2020. Stream it below.
