silika

North American based rock band Silika, has been infused with a new creative spirit, and the tracks on their upcoming release, The Gainsides, scheduled for a Oct. release reflect this new energy. Upon writing the EP, vocalist/guitarist Joel Bryant, guitarist Jesse Haire, bass guitarist Danny Goldenberg, and drummer Jeff Robins were blessed with a revitalized spirit that helped propel their new group into endless musical creation.

The Silika story first began about four years ago when Bryant and Robbins first started playing together. Haire began playing with them two years later, and their last addition was bassist Goldenberg, joining shortly after Haire. Ultimately, the band named themselves Silika after months of deliberation.

After building a strong local following, the band independently released a 4-song EP, "The Gainsides" in 2005.
