自澳洲的新力量The Silents，他們的音樂感覺就是穿梭在Black Rebel Motorcycle Club和The Jesus and Mary Chain之間，有巨大強(qiáng)烈的Noise搖滾，也有著迷幻的吉他旋律搖滾. The Silents are an alternative rock band from Perth, Western Australia. Biography Benjamin Stowe and Jamie Terry began writing and recording songs in the second half of 2002, with their music, heavily influenced by early sixties psychedelic and beat music. They then began looking for a rhythm section with similar rock’n’roll influences, however with little success. In September 2003, Stowe watched friend Sam Ford’s band perform at a local Perth hotel and after the show asked if both he and drummer Alex Board would be interested in joining him and Terry to form a band. In early December 2003 the Silents recorded a three track demo. The name ‘The Silents’ is taken from Simon and Garfunkel’s haunting folk ballad, "The Sound of Silence". The name was also influenced by The Silence, the original name of Marc Bolan's band 'John’s Children', one of the first psychedelic bands in the UK. On April 15, 2006 their debut EP Flicker & Flames, recorded with Dave Parkin (Red Jezebel), was released with Rubber Records nationally,[with the lead single "Nightcrawl" receiving large amounts of airplay on Triple J and alternative/community radio across Australia. They toured extensively with The Exploders in 2006, and appeared as the house band on Rove Live. The Silents were also nominated 'Most Promising New Act’ at the 2006 WAMi Awards. In April 2007 The Silents signed to Ivy League Records following which they toured nationally with The Vines and the Red Riders. In May 2007 the band commenced recording new tracks for their debut album, which was mixed in Sunset Studios California by Doug Boehm (Starsailer, Guided by Voices, Sahara Hotnights). On November 3, 2007 the band released the first song from their debut album, "23", in the form of an EP. It has already received significant airplay on Triple J.On March 29, 2008 the band released its debut album, Things to Learn.
