Artist History Stealing Silence has been playing on the Austin, Texas music scene now for over a year. It all started as a weekend jam session and grew to much more than that. Currently we've played shows at The Backroom, Babe's, The Loft, Sunset Station and Spiro's, just to name a few, and have many more shows in the making. Our music is a very unique blend of pop, rock, alternative, punk, and ska. Check out the MP3's page for some sample songs. Our influences include bands such as 311, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, The Deftones, and many many more. Listening to such a diverse set of bands has helped to solidify Stealing Silence as one of the most unique bands to play Austin, TX in years. Josh was introduced to Eric by a close friend who was also Eric's roommate. They jammed for a while and started writing some music and began looking for a singer. Eric met Jason "Mashed Potato" Taylor while working together. He told Josh that he just had that rock star vibe to him and he could sing too. Josh and Eric were wow'd by his ability to just make lyrics up off the top of his head and took him on as their new singer. Soon they recruited Israel, a close friend of Josh's roommate to play bass, but he was later replaced with Jeremy, a long time friend of Mashed Potato's and a diehard Stealing Silence fan. From the first time Stealing Silence played together as a band, they knew they'd be making beautiful music together.
