Artist History 3 kids scamming spare change out in front of a liquor store in Detroit Join together to form a caper to get free drinks from local bars.

Eric Faas- Drumsc "Nate" Faas-Drums Known by his friends as "Freako". Mostly, well, because he's a freak!!. When not stealing beer or rolling his car in a ditch, he beats his drums till they're gasping for their very last breath!!Eric Toth- Guitar/Vocals He plays with such flaming fervor, it's as if Satan himself were doing the Watusi on his fretboard!!!! Learned his fuzzy guitar playing style by playing along with garbage disposal sound effects records.

Albums Cyclerific Sounds (Bomp!/Total Energy)

Press Reviews Metro Times The Silencers (aided and abetted by Mick Collins) just push the fuzz over the line, let the rhythm handle the throttle and step back while Toth's guitar lines mess with your head. Orbit Magazine The Silencers are one of the best surf bands in the world. Basically its raw renegade garbage. A soundtrack to a sleazy 60's biker movie. The Wedge I said to a freind that the Galaxy Trio were going to be the answer to Man or Astroman. Looks like The Silencers are gonna be the midwest's answer to them both.These tunes are always changing and keeping the ear interested. I place The Silencers head and shoulders over 98% of the rest of the herd. Reverb Central Way powerful and way cool!!! Fuzzed out grinding spitfire engine reving guitarage, and tons of edge. New Gandy Dancer Unexpected raunchy, screaming guitar manic sound. Inspired rock instrumental at it's best! Pounding stuff!! The Spidora Fuzzy guitars, very fuzzy guitars. Fuzzier than Ernest Borgnine's testicles!!! Bad Trip Has a great happy-hour in a shithole bar, feel to it. The kinda place where hookers get primed before they hit the pavement. Livewire Wild Instrumenal dominated by supremo surf guitarist Eric Toth. Gotta be heard to be believed!
