This Town
The Silent Years Lyrics

I won't complain, even if this town caught fire
And we all rolled around on the ground tryna put our clothes out
I wont...
Leaders who cant lead, the pitiful resistance
I wont...
There are those of us who wait
For a prophet who will lead us out of the wilderness
As far as i can see from here
The blowers still blowing
The growers only growing

Im gone...
But we will fall past resistace
It's too late to follow signs
May we all find,
Something in this,
Hallelujah

If only the rain, hadn't felt quite so disliked
And we'd managed our resources better here here go the glasses
Clinking
Tommorow we should paint, our faces and do a rain dance
I will...
I will...
There are those of us who wait
For a prophet who will lead us out of the wilderness
As far as i can see from here
The blowers still blowing
The growers only growing
Im gone...
But we will fall past resistace
It's too late to follow signs
May we all find,
Something in this,
Hallelujah

The Silent Years are straight out of Detroit, Rock City! The DIY band created all of their own artwork, website and they even hand made their stunning debut video clip for “Someone To Keep Us Warm.”

Heavily influenced by Elliot Smith, Jeff Buckley, Flaming Lips and Sunny Day Real Estate, the Silent Years’ are combining sweet-as-candy melodies with eardrum-piercing, full-on noise. Adding to the intrigue was the multiple tempo changes and playful dynamics that were delivered like an amusement park rollercoaster.

Heavily influenced by Elliot Smith, Jeff Buckley, Flaming Lips and Sunny Day Real Estate, the Silent Years’ are combining sweet-as-candy melodies with eardrum-piercing, full-on noise. Adding to the intrigue was the multiple tempo changes and playful dynamics that were delivered like an amusement park rollercoaster.

The band has played previous dates with Mellowdrone, French Kicks, Sound Team, Akron Family, The Processions, Stars Track and Fields, Aqueduct and The Fields.

To help round out their sound, vocalist Josh Epstein recently enlisted the help of keyboardist and violinist Cassandra Verras, drummer Ryan Clancy and bassist Michael Majewski.
