The Silos

Heralded at their outset by Rolling Stone as “America’s Best New Band,” the Silos mix punk, roots, rock, and sage art-damaged truth-telling. They’ve created a sound that’s hard to pin down. “The band’s austere style inflects the astringent twang of The Velvet Underground with the drone of R.E.M. and adds countryish echoes that recall Gram Parsons,” offered The New York Times. “
