About the Silent Boys

indie-pop

The Silent Boys is an indie-pop band that has been silently playing and recording music for the past two decades. Its founder and leader, Wallace Dietz, is an avid indie-pop fan who cites influences from bands such as the Chameleons, the Cure, Joy Division, the Felt, Durutti Column, McCarthy, Echo & the Bunnymen, Adorable, the Go-Betweens, Sad Lovers and Giants, the Miracle Legion, the Replacements, Ride, and even jangle pop bands like the Bats, the Chills, the Sea Urchins and the Field Mice. The two other permanent members of the band include bass and lead guitarist John Suchocki and drummer John Morand.

"Beauty Tips" is the Silent Boys first full-length CD release. It is their most realized work, primarily because they were finally able to do all the engineering and mixing themselves. In other words, for once they were able to get the songs just the way they wanted without having to worry about driving up studio costs.

Prior to "Beauty Tips", the Silent Boys had only released songs on various compilations including: Will There be Time for Tea (Morgan Leah), Seven Summers (Kindercore/Tweenet), You Thought It Was the End of the World When the Rain Ruined Your Hair (Firestation Tower), and The Family Twee. The Silent Boys’ songs appearing on these compilations have drawn comparisons to indie-pop bands like the Smiths, New Order, the Haywains, and Love Tractor, especially because of similar guitar sounds. That said, talking about the Silent Boys is like dancing about architecture. To really find out what they sound like be sure to explore the mp3 snippets offered here on this website.
