In mid 1990, 4 guys, Dave, Bob, Bill and Larry formed what was to later be
one of the most innovative acts to come out of Colorado. Denver's Silence, with a CD
release and several years of live performances behind them, have won the hearts of fans
everywhere. They have an extremely marketable sound that has found its way into the
hands of DJ's throughout the front range. 2 singles, "Shanna", and
"Chance of a Lifetime", have received massive radio play on stations such as
KILO 94.3 (Colorado Springs), KAZY 106.7 (Denver). Their sound has even traveled as
far as Chicago.
| Their CD release, "Sound of the Rain", has gained an amazing
amount of popularity, lines of people at shows trying to get a copy. "It's being
distributed to over 40 record stores," Bob is quoted as saying,
"Nationwide." |

So how did Silence get where they are now? There are
a number of things that could gain a band the appeal that Silence has. The music is
there, without a doubt. There's a commercial side to what is written, not
intentionally, but it appeals to the many that venture out to see them live night after
night. The band has charisma as a whole. As individuals, you probably wont
find a nicer group of people. They have dropped everything to help fellow bands in
need, (amps blow up, keys get lost, etc.) and they respect all. This may be what has
pushed them into the slot they're in, and will probably be what will nudge them to the
top.
Silence's next isn't slated to be out until next summer. following a fall
tour that's scheduled to cover Nevada, California and New Mexico, just to name a few.
Reaching fans doesn't seem to be a problem for these guys, their live show is
something that can't be explained in words. Their all energetic, obviously giving
110% to those who have gone out to see them. The show is exciting. and one gets the
impression after seeing more than one, that is different every time. All 4 musicians
work well live, as an integrated unit. The fact that they have know each other for
years becomes apparent on stage. The music even comes across as a group effort
despite their diverse influences, ranging from hardcore thrash to Barry Manilow. If
that isn't enough reason to rush out and catch a show, read this article again, you can't
ask more from a band.
