They recorded their first EP in February 2005 and it came out as 7" on Commitment Records in The Netherlands during the summer of 2005. The debut EP contains 6 songs and it shows you the punk side of the band. After a couple of bigger shows the band went to studio in November 2005 to record their first full-length. Their first full-length album titled "Nightmare" came out on CD by the German label called Crazy Love Records. This album includes 14 songs and follows the psychobilly path including punkabilly roots. The gigs/gig-invitations multiplied after their debut album and the band went to stage with bands like Mad Sin, The Meteors, Rezurex, Klingonz, The Peacocks, Phantom Rockers, Deadline, etc, in Hungary and in the abroad. The first European-tour of The Silver Shine had happened in the September of 2006 as "Nightmare Tour" and the guys showed the Hungarian derring-do in Spain, France and Germany. The welcome of the band was very good and they have got very good criticism everywhere.
After this tour their first double bassist changed to Frenk Set and after some hard months in rehearsal room the band recorded their second full-length album. It came out also by the meanest psychobilly label named Crazy Love Records on CD and LP titled "Don't Trust The Girl With The Chainsaw". The record contains 15 songs, a Hungarian language cover song among other tunes and a wild psychobilly version of "Mercy" originally written by the famous American duo called Collins Kids from the fifties.
After the studio recordings the band went to a west-bound tour again and they made it in Czech Republic, Germany and The Netherlands. In the May of 2007 The Silver Shine was the first outlandish band in the mother country of the legend Count Drakula to show to the Romanian ghouls what the hell is the psychobilly. Since then they played with The Peacocks in Austria and Mad Sin again in Zalaegerszeg. In October, 2007, Set left the band and Krista Kat joined the band as double bassist. A female double bassist first time in the history of the band. She's got power more than enough to punch you in the face with her slap attack! They've got a couple of shows with her in Austria, Italy and we played at Moonlight Mayhem Festival in Prague at the end of 2007.
At the beginning of 2008 they toured in Hungary with a Hungarian punk band named Semmi Komoly and went to a European tour again. They visited Denmark, Germany and Switzerland and after the tour they played one show at Ukrabilly Bang Festival in Kiev, Ukraine, and some shows in Czech Republic. One of the meanest show for the band happened in May, when they played at Psychomania Rumble no.2 at Potsdam, Germany.
Full moon
The Silver Shine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you feel so lonely and nothing's all right
Better to leave your second skin and forget who you are
Leave all problems at home let's wreck tonight
Let's hang out with the werewolves till the morning light
If you feel your weekdays turned into gray
Forget about the loneliness and forget about the blues
Discover the wolf inside come on howl at the moon
howl, howl, howl, hooooooowwwwwwlllllll!
Full moon tonight - full moon tonight
C'mon baby and howl with us through the night
Full moon tonight - full moon tonight
C'mon baby and join this wolfpack now
C'mon babe under the red hot moon
take a bus downtown to the graveyardshift tonight
The Silver Shine's song "Full Moon" is an invitation to let loose and be free. The lyrics convey the feeling of being stuck in a mundane routine, feeling lonely, and disconnected. The solution to this is to let go of everything that is holding you back and join the pack. The "second skin" mentioned in the lyrics is a metaphor for the mask that people wear in order to fit in with society or to meet other people's expectations. The lyrics encourage listeners to shed this skin and become who they truly are, and that can only be achieved by howling at the moon and embracing the wolf inside.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "full moon tonight" as a reminder of the special night in which people can truly be themselves. The lyrics encourage listeners to forget about their loneliness and blues, and to discover their inner wolf. This could also be interpreted as an ode to the wild side of life, to the times when people feel most free, reckless, and adventurous. The song invites people to leave their problems at home and to join the pack, and to embrace the full moon with all their might. The song leaves listeners with a feeling of empowerment, the idea that they can connect with their wild side and leave their worries behind.
