ALL-VETERAN ALTERNATIVE ROCK GROUP SILENCE & LIGHT REVEAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “SLINKY”

Comprised of veterans of all four branches of the military, alternative rock outfit SILENCE & LIGHT were formed out of Raleigh, NC in 2017 by former Army Ranger and Special Forces soldier and rhythm guitarist Jason Everman (ex-Nirvana, Soundgarden) and former Delta Force Operator and lead guitarist Brad Thomas. The band has now announced their sophomore album COULDA, WOULDA, SHOULDA… will be released on June 23 with a portion of profits being donated to non-profit organizations that support veterans and first responders. To date, the band has donated over $5,000 in royalties to organizations including Warrior’s Heart.

The album’s debut single “Slinky” will be available to stream and/or download across digital platforms tomorrow, April 21; pre-save it HERE. SILENCE & LIGHT have shared the music video for “Slinky” today (April 20) which features behind-the-scenes clips taken during the COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA… recording sessions with co-producer Dick Hodgin (Hootie & The Blowfish, Corrosion of Conformity). Watch it streaming below or on YouTube HERE. 

“'Slinky' is an angsty but upbeat song that taps into the bands roots in the 1990’s grunge movement," shared SILENCE & LIGHT collectively. "It's a sonic throwback.”
SILENCE & LIGHT--which in addition to Everman and Thomas includes former Marine Raider Tyson Stahl on bass, Air Force Command Master Chief Fred Cowell on vocals and Navy veteran Justin Myers on drums—have performed across the US with acts including Lenny Kravitz, Old Dominion Band and Third Eye Blind as well as having appeared at several fundraising concerts for veteran causes. The band will be seen performing at The Eagle’s Dare in downtown Wilmington, NC as part of the city’s “Free Concert Friday” music series on June 23. The show is free and proceeds from the event will be going to support the Marine Raider Foundation.
