‘…Silence Is Sexy brings nicely polished postpunk-songs. Very contemporary, with references to Editors and The Bravery…’ (Gijsbert Kamer, Volkskrant 24-12-2005)

2003 / 2004 – Hendrik-Jan de Wolff (vocals, guitar), Pim van de Werken (guitar), Barry Spooren (bass) and Bart Reinders (drums) form Silence is Sexy (named after the Einsturzende Neubauten record). From a broad pallet of musical preferences, the band develops its sound that is compared to divergent bands like Joy Division, Sonic Youth, Placebo, Radiohead, My Bloody Valentine and Interpol. Attempts by the written press to interpret this style results in some of the following descriptions:

* Dark wave-pop
* A unique infectious mixture of noise-punk, new wave and shoegazer
* Nice popsongs combined with a sharp guitar-sound

2005 – The word spreads quickly when the first EP ‘Silence is Sexy’ is released in the Netherlands. Various national radio stations play the song ‘Reptiles’. Based on the EP, music magazine LiveXS declares the band ‘local hero’ and they hit the stage of Amsterdam’s rock-temple Paradiso. In the meantime ‘Reptiles’ hits the Outlaw 41 charts of the alternative radio station KinkFM. The band plays shows at various festivals and clubs.
