The Silent Years Sign To Defend Music

"Underground Artist of the Year 2007" – Spin Magazine

 

Straight out of Detroit rock city, The Silent Years are proud to announce the upcoming release of their forthcoming album The Globe, set for release on August 26th (with the iTunes only release coming out on August 12th). The band has been in the studio throughout the harsh Detroit winter of 2007, making the final touches on The Globe with none other than Chris Coady (!!!, TV On The Radio, Grizzly Bear, Architecture in Helsinki, Blonde Redhead). Critically acclaimed by the press and having been compared to and equally inspired by artists such as Elliot Smith, Tim Buckley, Flaming Lips and Sunny Day Real Estate; they combine simple and sweet melodies with sharp and powerful bursts of emotion via instrument and vox; leaving even the most stoic of listeners with goose bumps and a smile. Allow yourself to be taken into the weird and wondrous world created by The Silent Years, a very special band indeed.

Alkaline Trio		"Love Love, Kiss Kiss"
I've been a fan of this band for a long time. While there's nothing groundbreaking here, the budget is bigger but the songs are still good. If you like loud guitars and catchy melodies you'll love this record. I keep waiting for this band to really disappoint me and they just won't do it.

P Is For Panda Forms Imprint With Hopeless/Sub City Records

 

 

 

July 24, 2008 -- Budding t-shirt company P Is For Panda (www.pisforpanda.com) is branching out into the world of music, not by sponsoring bands like many clothing lines, but by starting a record label. Through a partnership with Hopeless/Sub City Records, the Atlanta area-based organization is launching an imprint to serve a wide variety of indie rock artists.

 

After leaving his previous label, The Militia Group (which he founded and operated for 12 years), P Is For Panda owner Chad Pearson ironically chose to cut music out of his life entirely. He entered into various career paths that had nothing to do with the industry (baking, construction work), but eventually found himself returning to music. “I started listening to old demos I had gotten and kept, and I started really enjoying myself,” said Pearson. “I had bands reaching out to me, asking me when I would start up again, asking for my advice, and after awhile it just made sense. My love was always there; I just needed to find what I loved about music again.”
