Mixing styles such as rockabilly, surf, country&western, blues and everything rock-n-roll, The Silvermen have created a unique, one of a kind sound. Rock-n-roll was just playin' possum and The Silvermen are living proof!!
" We are the Evel Kenieval of Rock-N-Roll! Our live show is, straight up, a daredevil event!"- Zoop.
The Silvermen have shared a stage with some of Rock and Roll's greatest artists, including the Reverend Horton Heat, Southern Culture on the Skids, the legendary King of Surf Dick Dale, Link Wray, the Los Strait Jackets, the Paladins, the Red Elvises, country phenomenon Junior Brown, Deke Dickerson, the Legendary Shack Shakers, Split Lip Rayfield, the Hacienda Brothers, Wayne "The Train" Hancock and many others. They've also just recently landed an endorsement deal with DiPinto Guitars. Zoop also just landed an endorsement deal with Hallmark Guitars.
The Silvermen are my kind of group! On Incendiary Luminary this amazing trio steps into many different musical persuasions. Rock, rockabilly, country, surf-spy and blues are all explored, sometimes all within the same song. I would be willing to bet that they are a blast to witness live.
"Monkey Tooth" and "Guitari 2600" (a nod to The Ventures?) are my favorites. They are animated instrumentals with elements of surf-spy, swing, and the ever-present rockabilly tone and flair to give it a charge of color and character that no other recorded music has, it is certainly a distinctive and engaging sound. Instrumentals are but one facet of this multi-talented trio. The focus of the instrumental is to display the great musicianship a band commands, and the tracks are real knockouts. Their vocal tracks are excellent as well. The lead off track "Lawman" is like an eight cylinder hemi engine that just filled up with high test, one touch on the pedal and you are off burnin' rubber all the way down the street! The best way to describe this band is that they are pure swingin' fun! I say that with a big old smile from ear to ear. If your feet are not moving to this vibe, you had better check the obituaries to see if you are in there because this music is hopping! "Jangle Ball Hawk" is real hoot; I do not think I have ever heard a seasonal tune with that much juice behind it before, what a great tune!
Hey, every song is killer, plain and simple folks. This fantastic CD will keep your joint jumpin' from sunrise to sunset...it will give you happy feet, guaranteed. What a cool band with a great sound!

"The KC trio's latest effort, Incendiary Luminary, offers a rollicking, roller-coaster ride through a number of boisterous genres, blending uppity blues, country swing and barn-burning rock into a contagious (and highly danceable) mixture that jumps, jives and wails."-Geoff Harkness- Pitch Weekly.
"As their slogan states, 'Rock n' roll was just playin' Possum!'
These three know how to rock it right, in their new release "Incendiary, Luminary"...as they roll through 12 tracks of kick ass rock n' roll! If you love strait rock n' roll, speed, and fancy guitar, The Silvermen's "Incendiary, Luminary" is the CD for you."- Orlando Rios/Rockabilly Monthly.
"The Silvermen are a band that has its feet firmly planted in the past, while crafting songs that are still fresh and contemporary. Blending surf and countrified- blues, The Silvermen are creating something that's 'Incendiary ... Luminary ... '!"-Jason Meier-RockKansas.com Magazine.
"THE SILVERMEN/INCENDIARY LUMINARY. 12 far above average rock performances by the group. RECOMMENDED."-Honky Tonkin' Music.
"I just wanted to let yous guys know that My girlfriend and I made the trip from Minneapolis to KC a few weeks back to see the Rev Horton heat show that you opened for, and damn. We were both in the front row watching you guys do your thing, and we were both left speechless by your talent and style. I've never been to a show where the opening band got a standing ovation before, but if ever there was a band that deserved one, it would definitely be you! You just put so much energy into your work, and it really comes through in the music.
Keep it up! PLEASE!!!"
Thanks again,
