Based in Dublin, Silverbacks deliver their own louche take on NYC-indebted rock. They ply their trade with as much emphasis on the dry humour running through their lyrics as the propulsive, triple guitar-led onslaught in their music.

“…infectious and breakneck. Silverbacks come across like a contemporary Dublin band but definitely bear DNA from the NYC art-rock of the late ’70s and early ’80s.” – Stereogum

"Try to follow the thread of those guitars. It’s impossible. Twisting, turning and transforming like Optimus Prime in a sticky-floored club, it drives each track into cacophonous, explosive territory" - NME

"Dublin's Silverbacks are at the forefront of this, all bass-line spasms, taut percussive patterns and barbed wire guitar explosions" - Clash Magazine

"With the same sarcy, stone and starving balled-up frustration as Brooklynites Parquet Courts, Dublin’s Silverbacks are an exciting new prospect" - DIY Magazine
