Blending ebm, industrial music, electronic psychedelia, punk and pure analog noise, silver walks hails from Philadelphia. ’various positions’, their ambitious debut LP, is about lives in crisis - both during and in reflection. Led by principal songwriter Daniel McCullough, the record veers from the soaring literate synth-pop of ‘in consequence’ and ‘tear me down’ to the dense, chaotic noise-walls of ‘eyes of caligula’ and ‘mirrortowne’. silver walks strays far from cookie-cutter terror ebm and insipid Marilyn Manson-esque shock rock, and are much better for it. Stylistically diverse and paying little heed to the current flavor-of-the-moment, ‘various positions’ was mixed by rock legend John Fryer (NIN, Stabbing Westward, Depeche Mode). ’various positions’ features a notable set of collaborators; Stella Soleil, Eva X, Cubanate’s Marc Heal and more contribute to a strong, confident debut. ‘various positions’ is out June 10th digitally and on CD via BandCamp; wider release follows on all major platforms via Pittsburgh’s Distortion Productions, with much more to come.

Look for the band on tour throughout the American East and Midwest in the coming months!
