Album Review – “If you like something well out of the ordinary and have a sense of musical humour, then this may well be for you. It is a real antidote to samey, safe pop, but quite a strong antidote at that.” – https://wallofsound.org.uk/
SILENT-K has a unique style; infectious melodies and rip-roaring hip-hop infused rock n roll with electrifying guitar solos that seduce and charm you into a trip of groove-driven soundscapes, a heady mix of sci-fi freak music, wonky punk and rock ‘n’ roller coaster cartoon music that SILENT K like to call safari park punk!
Frontman Chris Taylor – aka Pineapple King – has been at the forefront of the stage and line-ups since SILENT-K’s inception, previously touring on guitar for both Fat White Family and Dave McCabe & the Ramifications. Alongside Taylor, SILENT-K was co-founded with Dave McCabe from critically acclaimed Liverpool band The Zutons.
The outfit’s debut album will be released in 2022 and is being mixed by legendary Sheffield producer Ross Orton, renowned for his production work with Arctic Monkeys, Jarvis Cocker, Working Men’s Club and The Fall.
SILENT-K tap into the psychedelic spirit that travels through the Mersey.
Led by two experienced lysergic wanderers, the band match billowing sonic textures to some excellent moments of songwriting.
“I had not seen the basement as busy as it was for Silent K since The Parrots at Festevol 2017. The atmosphere down there was electric.”

“Great beats, short and infectious riffs, the whole package of their sound is really exciting – and by the time they’re on their second song, Phase One is rammed.”

“SILENT-K were a blast of fresh air featuring previous member of the Fat White Family, Chris Taylor, a guy in a bee-keepers suit and a brief one song shrouded appearance from The Zutons’ Dave McCabe among others.” https://www.
“Chris Taylor sounding like Wayne Kramer of the MC5 (with falsetto vocals and hot guitar licks).”

“Northern rock and roll from the twilight zone.”

“Front and centre, Taylor’s powerful vocals project to the back wallof EBGBs.”

Gigslutz Track of the Day:
The Mount
Hull based Indie-Rock with snarly guitars, groovey trainers, anthemic indie choruses and an army of followers. New to the Hull-scene but quickly making waves. Always great to see a young band coming through the ranks. One to watch.
