Biography:
The Silence Kit is a Philly post-punk band that plays textured, melodic rock. Based in New Jersey and Philadelphia, and inspired in equal parts by post punk, shoegaze, neo-psychedelia, avant-garde and indie rock, the band was started by singer/guitarist Patrick McCay back in 2002 as a solo recording project. Several lineups have seen the band gradually honing their sound through the years. After the successful 2005-2006 lineup fell apart, Patrick found a new guitarist in TJ Wark in 2007, along with drummer Jay Dyer and not long afterward the band found their bass player in Don Ocava.
