Album Notes

Finally, the new album, The Silvermen Attack! is unleashed on the world!!!! And it's the best one yet! Includes the instumental "Attack!" as featured on the Mancow Morning Show.

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...minus the motor cycle, the helmet and the life threatening aspects, for now anyway!"- 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.

"Okay, I'm finally listening to "the Silvermen Attack" after getting it back from Michele yesterday. I'm on "Torn Up" and out bursts some killer harmonica. I say to myself, "Self, I know that harp!" That's the Colonel! (of The Legendary Shack Shakers) Nice work getting JD to do some great licks on that track. Joshua is a friend and client. Really great to know it is indeed a small world full of good people in Musicland."

Lovin' "Attack" so far.....

"According to the Silvermen's website, "Rock-n-roll was just playin' possum". But calling this rock-n-roll is ambiguous at best. Rather, this amalgam of rockabilly, surf rock, country, blues, jazz, swing and punk is probably best described as "Ronky Donk", a term borrowed from "Ronky Donk Machine", the second track on The Silvermen Attack!

The Exclamation point at the end of the previous sentence is in the title of the album, and for good reason, because this album is packed with energy from end to end, and sounds something like Dick Dale, The Reverend Horton Heat and Meatloaf got into a motorcycle accident... with Evel Knievel. Guitar-driven instrumentals sandwich the album, with the songs in between including the likes of "Torn Up" (Track 3) a fun rocker about a breakup that quotes "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and "Peepo & Skaught", a bouncy southern rocker with just a hint of ska and (dare I say it) an anthemic-sounding chorus. A sense of humor will definitely help the listener along; consider "One Of The Things", a saxy stalkery love anthem, and "Sizzle Went The Hand", a story song about why your mom told you not to touch her hot stove. Exclamation point, indeed!"

Favorite Track: Track 3, "Torn Up"
