Rock and roll, arguably, found its perfect form decades ago. So, with the exception of opting to explore a few parallel paths and less travelled byways, all you really need to do is keep heading in the same general direction. And, if you will allow me to reach for a handy cliche… if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
Sons of Silver know that rock and roll “ain’t broke” and that it is a genre equipped to keep walking that road into a glorious future. Tell Me This is the sound of them doing just that. But that isn’t to say that this is merely an exercise in revisiting the past, far from it. Tell Me This is as fresh and forward-thinking as the next ten rock and roll tracks, but you can’t deny that its killer riffs, infectious ways, and short, sharp, and shockingly great delivery and immediacy aren’t familiar.
And that, of course, is the art of rock and roll in the modern age, that blend of comfort zones and adventure, that bridge between familiarity and freshness, the ability to take something that people already know and love and repackage it for a new audience. It’s an art that Sons of Silver excels at.
Throw in a fantastic video, one that takes the standard band performance and turns it into something artful and compelling, and you have the complete package.
