There are a few Frederick bands that work really hard to gig consistently every weekend, but there is one band in particular that has been really upping the game lately. I’m talking about Silent Old Mtns. Not only have they been gigging relentlessly (3 local shows last weekend, 2 local shows next weekend for example), but they’ve also had some pretty awesome moments lately. One biggy being the release of their official video for Dead All The Time and the other is having had the honor of opening for Langhorne Slim at the Ottobar (Baltimore, MD) (videos here) about a month ago. Indeed some great leaps and bounds for a Frederick band whose first live performance was just a little over one year ago! - Bucket of Rock Blog

The second group to play was, in my mind, the star of the night. I mean, don’t get me wrong, TLATW was phenomenal, but these guys (Silent Old Mtns) blew my socks off like you wouldn’t believe. First of all, the banjo man opened the set with the best monologue in the universe and he was so passionate throughout the entire set that I made it my mission to find him after the show, give him a huge hug, and tell him he was my new favorite. The leads voice was astonishingly honest and heartfelt… as were the lyrics to the songs and the melodies of the tunes. I enjoyed every millisecond they were on stage and I don’t get that often. - Screwed On Crooked Blog

"Very often, the true brilliance of a band doesn't come until multiple viewings of the band's live shows. This is especially true with younger bands, as one great live show could have just been a fluke, or a sign of great things to come. Silent Old Mountains is just about to hit their one year anniversary as a band, but they perform like a band full of ten year veterans. Combining their exceptional live show with a wide group of friends and family transformed a boring Tuesday night into a fun night showcasing an upcoming local band." - Muzik Dizcovery
