SILENT ERA

Hello! There’s been a real lack of updates in our digital realm, but we’ve been very busy in the physical realm. Most importantly, our debut LP “O Horizon” will be coming out in early 2018! The tracks have been mastered and it’s been sent off to the pressing plant. It’ll be released in the US by Last Hour and in Europe by Sabotage. You can listen to the title track now on our Bandcamp. We’ll also be touring Europe in March and April. We’ll post the dates when they’re solidified.

Also, we’re touring the west coast. Here’s where we’ll be if you wanna hang out. All dates take place in June. 

Regarding the current situation with the FANG show at 924 Gilman, Silent Era as a band and as individuals would like to echo the already articulate statements made by Composite and others about boycotting the club. As a band, we condemn oppressive behavior of any kind, and we too feel that Gilman's members are disregarding many voices in the DIY punk community and their own posted morals. There are some people attending Gilman meetings to affect change in these matters, and we acknowledge and support their efforts.

Sign originally made by hardworking Gilman volunteers of the past and then altered by our singer, Michelle. 

If you would like more info about why people are boycotting Gilman (it’s not just because of Fang, trust us), please feel free to visit the Boycott Gilman page for detailed information from volunteers of the space.
