"Silent Substitute - Lovely Is Not As It Should Be"

Silent Substitute are a family band of brothers and sisters from Minneapolis, Minnesota who offer a rock/punk based album with a host of assorted musical talents on display. The opener grabbed my attention with a strong guitar riff and tight drums and bass while the female lead vocalist was exceptional. I have heard some strong vocals in my time and can only compare this female vocalist to the great Amy Lee from Evanescence such is her vocal range and style. Elsewhere the songs are well constructed and parents can rest assured that this rock music is fully endorsed for all ages as the message is strong and unswerving for all Christian kids. To single out the best songs from the album is a difficult task as they all stand out in their own way but the beautiful "When You Come" which shares both male and female vocals and melodic music is a delight. There are several other strong songs with "Hopeless Case" and "Without You" standing out. - Crossrhythms Magazine UK

Bio

Dynamite, they say.

Those, that is, who aren’t totally speechless after witnessing Silent Substitute’s explosive rock set.

Meghan, Ryan, Becca, and Willie McCann are the seemingly tailor- made players in Silent Substitute, a sibling rock band from The City of Brotherly Love, Minnesota. You’d never mistake the matching heads on stage for four strangers.

That they are siblings is Providence.

The McCann kids aren’t your typical high school- to just-graduated- from-college-age bunch. Having just returned from China with the orphan care organization Bring Me Hope, the four eagerly anticipate visiting the country again in the future--as well as ministering to families in the U.S. “Gray Skies” and “One” sum up the China experience for them. Ryan wrote “Gray Skies” while there, witnessing the orphans’ childlike faith. “They didn’t seem to care how scary the future might be, only that they were with us, even for a short time,” says frontwoman Becca McCann. Like fire to a fuse, the band explodes with words and songs that only begin to say what they need people to hear.

“We want families to be set apart. To do specific things the ominous ‘people’ might patronize. Like adopt. Or homeschool. We have a burning desire in our hearts to challenge people to take up that kind of life.”

Dynamite.
