Silhouettes

Silhouettes have a history of playing in bands together for over a decade, giving the unsigned 4-piece from Wolverhampton a mature sound.

Influences range from the hypnotic guitar rock of Radiohead to the sampled beats of DJ Shadow; the euphoric anthems of Arcade Fire to the melancholy of The Smiths.

The highlight of 2009 has been headlining Wolverhampton's Love Music Hate Racism event at the bar civiv (civic hall) in the city.

The four have also had their music played on WCRFM, The Bridge, Beacon and Kerrang with Alex Baker from Kerrang descrbing Silhouettes as "a very promising band trying and succeeding at something really quite hard to execute".

Talk

Performing has taken us as far a-field as Holland where we represented Radio One at Eurosonic festival. This rewarding jaunt was the result of us winning the title of 'best electronic fourpiece' on the Huw Stephens show, also leading to us playing at In The City for the BBC. Subsequently we performed on Radio One with a live session, which received fantastic and encouraging feedback. We released 'Bypass Control' from the new album to critical acclaim from both national and regional press including 'single of the week' on Londons XFM and coverage on ITV.
