Four-piece pop punkers Silence the Radio drop new EP

Four-piece alternative pop punk band Silence The Radio have released their brand new EP “Friendly Neighborhood Nightmares”. The band realized that their biggest strength was their ability to write songs with a catchy, flowing chorus, while still retaining the dark, tongue-in-cheek lyrical style they had originally honed.

Aside the title track, The EP includes the theatrical “Sad Love Story”, a tribute to the mid 2000’s alternative scene. Although a modern pop punk band, Silence The Radio incorporates beautiful string sections and theatrics throughout the duration of the record, while also writing booming choruses that everyone will sing along to. About the writing process, the band states:

“We started the writing process for “Friendly Neighborhood Nightmare” with intent to really hone our ability to write anthem pop rock songs. Up until that point, we had focused our writing efforts on a heavier, rougher style. But with the development of “Friendly Neighborhood”, we realized our greatest strength as songwriters was the ability to write songs with a catchy, flowing chorus. While still retaining the dark, tongue-in-cheek lyrical style we had adapted.

The bouncy tempo, memorable theme and unstoppable chorus are just some of the elements that make this song one of our strongest. One that’s sure to stick in the heads of everyone who hears it.”

Founded in early 2015, Silence the Radio was formed as a counteract to the metal and easycore scene. Their goal was to revive and revamp the timeless sounds of mid 2000s pop punk and alternative music. The band then began the writing process for their debut EP. Not long after, they teamed up with Chris Piquette to complete the recording process of their first album.

They also released their single, “Knock Me Out” in the fall of 2016. Then follows the addition of guitarist Thom O’ Rourke. They’ll indeed begin playing shows around the east coast leading up to its release this fall. You can now listen to the band's new EP on Spotify!
