The Silents is a four-piece band from Perth, Western Australia.
Benjamin Stowe and Jamie Terry began writing and recording music heavily influenced by early sixties psychedelic and beat music in the second half of 2002. In September 2003, Stowe watched friend Sam Ford’s band perform at a local Perth hotel and, after the show, asked if both Ford and drummer Alex Board would be interested in joining he and Terry to form a band.
The name The Silents was inspired by Simon and Garfunkel’s haunting folk ballad The Sound of Silence. The name was also influenced by The Silence, the original name of Marc Bolan’s band John’s Children, which was one of the first psychedelic bands in the United Kingdom.
In April 2006 their debut EP Flicker & Flames was released by Rubber Records nationally, with the lead single Nightcrawl receiving large amounts of airplay on Triple J and alternative/community radio across Australia. They toured extensively with The Exploders in 2006 and appeared as the house band on Rove Live.
In April 2007 The Silents signed to Ivy League Records and toured nationally with The Vines and Red Riders. In May 2007 the band commenced recording new tracks for their debut album Things to Learn, which was released in March 2008.
In November 2007 the band released an EP titled 23, containing the single of the same name from the debut album as well as two songs that weren’t included on the album and an older song, Window.

haha that'd be a sweet idea!!! the Chicago silents suck, they should just give up now and hand over the band name.

Is anyone involved with either band going to sort out the name confusion? I think the two bands should go head-to-head in a psychedelic cage match... see who can eat the most peyote and come out the other end...
