“Silence of a Silhouette combines soaring vocals, blazing guitar riffs, ambient keyboards, and driving drums to bring you music that is as intensely powerful as it is emotional. Every track is filled with such infectious pop melodies that you can’t help but sing along” - Eric Sandt, April 11th, 2008
“The band has energy, spunk and a stage performance that leaves you coming back for more.” - Angelica Merritt, April 8th, 2008
“Goodbye Sunshine....a blast of music. It again displays the bands talent, clear vocals and mixing of screams within the track.” - Erick Stealey, April 7th, 2008
“Escaping Reality certainly includes some super-catchy melodies…There’s lots of ‘80’s metal-inspired riffage here, showing off guitarists Jeff Peters & Andy Emergency’s skills. Producer Cole Martinez puts a fine gloss on the songs, which indeed sparkle.” - Eddie Felisher, April 2nd, 2008
“They have a certain something to them that is keeping me listening. They have the right look and the right feel to play the type of music they do.”
“Their music is constantly driving and penetrating.... They have that edge to them that’s needed in today’s log jam of an emo scene. It isn’t all emo...and that adds to their likability on the whole. It is Silence of a Silhouette’s ‘wear my heart on my sleeve’ mentality that should work to propel them just that much further.”
“Silence of a Silhouette is quality. And even though they are emo, their saving grace is the fact that they are just different enough for people to remember their name.” - Brian Campbell, January 15th, 2008

Bio
Silence of a Silhouette, often referred to as SOS, is a young quintet formed by lead singer Danny and lead guitarist Jeff. In 2006, new guitarist Andy and drummer Jeffrah joined the band. Jeffrah brought in his friend Justin on bass to round out the rhythm section, and so was born the current band today...thriving ever since, says Jeff.
Shortly after signing with Metrohouse Management in 2007, the bands popularity skyrocketed. Often headlining at local venues and developing a solid fan base, Silence of a Silhouette brings an average of 300 fans and almost sells out of merchandise at every local show.
An SOS live show is an orchestrated assault of energy and a tightness that, put bluntly, sounds like a band twice their age. (Scott Arko, The Cauldron) Not only do they sound just as good, if not better, live, they have the stage presence to awe even the toughest critic. The fan base is also another strong part to this unforgettable band. Not only do they chant S-O-S before and after they get on or off the stage, but they diligently sing along to every lyric and make sure to catch Danny, the lead singer, when he decides to hurl his body off the stage and into the crowd. (Angelica Merritt, The Buchtelite) The crowds response is only the first of many indications that the band has a devoted fan base developed from the strength of their song writing aesthetic and their energetic performances. Fan-made merchandise, record label offers, and a strong myspace presence dont hurt either.
Writer Jeff Peters found his composition Goodbye Sunshine in the finals of the 11th Annual USA Songwriting Competition in 2006, and rightly so: the song alone has collected countless fans and remains by a wide margin, their most commonly recognized and popular piece.
