Band:

Silver (Nor)

BiografieSilver from Oslo, Norway are now finally ready to release their long awaited debut album. WHITE DIARY is the clash between rebellious rock´n´roll, mohawk-provoking punk rock and fierce glam rock. Singer Blanco spits out the dark lyrics with blistering intensity and the band play with a strong urge to shake things up. A classic debut album with 10 songs in 35 minutes that brings new life to a worn out genre.


Silver were formed in the Southern parts of Norway in 1997 by Blanco, Katz and Amy Jubb. They soon moved to Oslo to be involved in the happening local punk rock scene and here they met Bee Buzter and Peady Pedal and the Silver line-up was complete. They build up an audience by playing live and the buzz about an exceptional live band soon spread. Silver put out the self-financed "Billboard Blackout" EP in May 2001 but appeared on the major Norwegian festivals Quart and Øya even before their first official release.


The debut EP "Riot 1-2-3" was released in November 2001 and was produced by Euroboy of Turbonegro fame and Don Dons from We. Here it became obvious how explosive Silvers glamorous punk rock really was and the title track also appears on WHITE DIARY for a good reason. Silver kept on touring extensively and while still in their early twenties they have more than 200 gigs under their belt including five German tours, stints to Austria, Sweden, Switzerland and they were supporting Turbonegro on their "Scandinavian Leather Tour". Silver also appeared at Popkomm in August 2003 along with Ricochets.


WHITE DIARY was recorded during the fall 2003 at Crystal Canyon in Oslo by Emil Nikolaisen & Silver with additional production by Anders Møller. The album release will be supported by two singles: Intimate Cussing as a 3-track CD single and Evacuate as 7", both released on Bad Afro Records. A video for Intimate Cussing is also in the making. Silver will be touring in Norway in January/February and Germany and Denmark are up in March.Quelle: http://www.badafro.dk/DiscografieWhite Diary (2004) www
