The Silence Kit is a Philly post-punk band that plays textured, dark, indie 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. In 2007 Patrick found a new guitarist in
TJ Wark and drummer in Jay Dyer. Not long afterward the band found bass player Don Ocava and within a few short months, the lineup was writing new material and playing shows.
Comparisons to bands like The Cure, Joy Division, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and The Psychedelic Furs hint at The Silence Kit's melodic, moody sound. When playing in the local Philly area, The Silence Kit has played venues such as The Khyber, The Northstar, Doc Watson's, The Pontiac Grille and The Manhattan Room, where they've shared the stage with indie rock and post punk bands like Early Day Miners, I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, Pela, Gene Loves Jezebel and more.
The band has released their second full length album, entitled "A Strange Labor" in July 2008. The album shows The Silence Kit expanding their signature sound even further, while exploring elements of melodic rock that the band had only briefly touched upon in the past.
