| About |
Silvertone was formed by long time friends Rich and James after they left college in late 2008.
James and Rich began performing together as an acoustic duo playing various covers and originals. Then, seeing the potential of the material, they were writing and performing together, they took it to the next level. They created a four piece rock band and recruited two talented, Cardiffian musicians Callum and Josh who were good college friends of James.
With the band fully formed the creative talents of each musician in the band started to shine through and bring a new and exciting dynamic to the music and the live performances.
The debut album 'The Darkest Light' captures the band's quick and relentless rise to fruition.
After producing the album themselves, the band are looking forward to hearing from listeners and fans from all over.
With the band full of energy, confidence, high expectations and clear focused goals, expect to see them in a venue near you!

“Well ... Ive listened to the CD .. Im no expert on the rock stuff but to me it sounds really good ... if not better than some Metallica type stuff Ive heard – good melodies. ”

"Tireless by nature and inflammatory with their emotion; Silvertone’s talent lies in their ability to transform simple, borderline cliché classic rock into something totally refreshing, with reprieves few and far between."
— Sam Garlick , Bido Lito
“Brilliant! Didn't know if I was listening to James Hetfield or James Boyd playin. Very polished and extremely well produced. Big sound, loved the opening- comes in quiet then grabs you round the throat. Melodic when its needs to be and strong in musicianship. Could see this band in the lineup for Download one day. As you mentioned, could also take on the US, they love this type of sound.”
