SINGLE REVIEW: SHALLOW WATERS – THE GOD YOU KNOW YOU ARE

Arriving at a time of great uncertainty, Shallow Waters new single “The God You Know You Are” gives listeners the keys to a world to get lost in. The band originate from Wigan (aka the pie capital of Britain) and bring with them an expansive single that announces their ambitions clearer than a foghorn on […]

ALBUM REVIEW: KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD – KG

Since the release of 2017’s Flying Microtonal Banana, Australian psych-rockers King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have always hinted at further exploration into the world of microtonal tuning. Now studio album number sixteen KG, finally delivers with an amalgamation of microtones and essences of previous albums adding to their ever-present and diverse musical odysseys. Beginning […]

GIG GUIDE

Between September 2011 and March 2020 we provided a handpicked gig guide every month without fail. It's painful for us that there are currently no gigs to recommend. We hope gigs will return soon to bring you new recommendations, but if you want to reminisce you can still see nine years worth of old gig guides.

Open AI – Music by Machines

Over the last ten years or so, I’ve written over 100 reviews for Silent Radio (woohoo!), but I feel increasingly out of touch with modern music (and reality) as I listen to a passable Frank Sinatra impersonation with full backing band singing “On Christmas day / a true unholy beast / went down to hell […]

WHO ARE YA? HEAVY SALAD

Suuns

Rig Stars: Suuns

We’re a curious bunch here at Silent Radio and decided it was time to start scratching that itch, so we asked Suuns guitarist and singer Ben Shemie what his favourite piece of music making equipment is. This is what he told us:   What is it? Digitech vocalist 2. How long have you had it? […]
Beabadoobee Fake It Flowers

ALBUM REVIEW: BEABADOOBEE – FAKE IT FLOWERS

Rising star often gets thrown around a lot, but in the case of Beabadoobee, that title is more than well deserved. Bea Kristi is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter from London who has blown up the internet with viral hit “Coffee,” along with a series of successful EPs and a sample of her vocals being used on […]

Sick Ducks

INTERVIEW: SICK DUCKS

One’s rightward vision is left temporarily enfeebled by misconstrued tomato (chilli), the situational table is laden with culinary utensils both clean and not, while boiled (9 minutes?) poultry-offerings linger within tarnished cardboard bespoke for their form and a sleeve bearing the late John Denver’s image gazes upwards at lighting courtesy of the accessible switch helping […]

This is the Kit

ALBUM REVIEW: THIS IS THE KIT – OFF OFF ON

I don’t trust people who say they like all types of music. That is a pretty, blanket statement. I like food but it doesn’t mean I like eating all food. There will inevitably be some music that I don’t want to listen to. However, I can see the merits of most music even if I […]
Twisted Ankle Album Cover

ALBUM REVIEW: TWISTED ANKLE

Twisted Ankle’s self-titled debut album is determined to wriggle its way out of any boxes you might want to put it in. Over the course of eleven songs many different musical avenues find themselves explored, though all of them are loud and dirty. Opening song ‘(All My Life I Wanted To Be A) Mortgage’ sets […]
