MP3: Silver - The personal decay
I can't remember exactly when I first heard of the band Silver, but I certainly never paid them much attention until their newest CD "World against world" showed up in my mailbox. I know a lot of people are probably interested in them now since Emil Nikolaisen of Serena Maneesh used to be in the band. His brother Ivar aka Blanco still fronts the band and Emil produced the new record, so it's not as if they had a falling out or anything. Emil just wanted to do his own thing and that seems to be paying off, so who can fault him? Anyhow, seeing as how Bad Afro is handling this new release, I knew it was time to take notice. I haven't been too stoked on the current lot of Scandinavian dirty rock'n'roll bands, but Bad Afro always delivers the goods and Silver is no exception. They're actually punkier than I thought they'd be - lots of downstoke-heavy Ramones-style riffage as opposed to the usual bluesy New York Dolls worship. Of course, there's still tons of blustery soloing in the Johnny Thunders tradition, not as if that's a bad thing. Dig it.
Silver - The personal decay
Originally scheduled for release last May, Silver's new album "World against world" will now finally be released on September 18 via Bad Afro. Listen to some tracks at myspace: http://www.myspace.com/thesilverband
Look for the band to release their first DVD this coming fall as well.
Norwegian "thrashpop"/new-wave revival act Surferosa has just recorded two songs with the oh-so-hip crew behind Bergen-based label YFM/Your Favorite Music (FYI: YFM is run by the folks in Datarock). Ivar "Blanco" Nicolaisen of Silver provides some backup vocals and the two pieces are entitled "Fashion facist" and "The last stand".
Norwegian rockers Silver have confirmed that their new album "World against world" is done and ready for release on May 8.
