The Silos

2025 MARKS 40 YEARS OF THE SILOS The Silos began as a musical force in 1985 with the release of their first album About Her Steps along with a series of gigs in their hometown neighborhood, the East Village of New York City. They were part of New Yorks post-punk 80s scene and played Indie Rock, Alt-Rock, Alt-Country, and Americana before any critics coined those terms. Heralded at their outset by Rolling Stone as Americas Best New Band, the resilient Silos mix punk, roots, rock, and sage art-damaged truth telling. Salas-Humaras narratives take on the weight of attentive, convincing poetry and wry wordplay. The Silos have created a sound thats hard to pin down - The bands austere style inflects the astringent twang of The Velvet Underground with the drone of R.E.M. and adds countryish echoes that recall Gram Parsons, offered The New York Times. Their latest effort and 12th studio album Family was released in 2022 and work has begun on a new album to celebrate their 40th Anniversary in 2025. There will also be series of live albums released in 2025 that span the 40 years of the band on the road.
