Description:
The Silence Kit is a Philly post-punk band that plays textured, melodic rock. Based in New Jersey and Philadelphia, and inspired in equal parts by post punk, shoegaze, neo-psychedelia, avant-garde and indie rock, the band was started by singer/guitarist Patrick McCay back in 2002 as a solo recording project. Several lineups have seen the band gradually honing their sound through the years. After the successful 2005-2006 lineup fell apart, Patrick found a new guitarist in TJ Wark in 2007, along with drummer Jay Dyer and not long afterward the band found their bass player in Don Ocava. The Silence Kit second full length album, entitled "A Strange Labor" will be released in February 2008. The album shows the band expanding their signature sound even further. 2008 sees The Silence Kit playing in support of this release, while writing and preparing new material for an imminent third album.
Comparisons to bands like The Cure, Joy Division, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and The Psychedelic Furs hint at The Silence Kit's blend of melodic, moody rock. Each member of The Silence Kit has been in a number of bands through the years and have played all over the country. The band regularly plays shows along the east coast, and has shared the stage with national bands like Early Day Miners, I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, Pela, Windsor for the Derby, Gene Loves Jezebel and more.
