Shhhhhh!


The Silencers

The Silencers

1997

Biography by Richie Unterberger

A trio with Dave Leeds (bass), Rob Felenchak (drums), and Eric Toth (guitar), the Silencers are a Michigan-based surf revival band that play in the Dick Dale style, with a darker approach than the average contemporary surf act. Their self-titled debut, consisting of mostly original material, was issued in 1997, and its follow-up, Cyclerific Sounds followed two years later.

Review by Richie Unterberger

"Link Wray & the Ventures rolled into one big ball and heaved through Dick Dale's living room window!!!" screams the back cover. It's not as mind-bending as that description would have you believe, but it's a very respectable 1990s surf revival effort, with excellent chops and a good sense of menace. Of their three cited influences, Dick Dale is definitely the biggest, as Eric Toth's banzai guitar leads amply demonstrate.
