Biography
The Silence Kit plays textured, moody rock music. The band is based in New Jersey and Philadelphia, PA, and was started by Patrick McCay in 2002, as a home recording project. Inspired in equal parts by post punk, shoegaze, neo-psychedelia, avant-garde and indie rock, countless shows have been played and more than a few band members have come and gone through the years.

The Silence Kit released their debut LP "In Regulated Measure," in February of 2006. The album was very well received and garnered many positive reviews. The press favorably compared the band to the likes of The Cure, Joy Division, The Sound, Chameleons, Echo and the Bunnymen, Nick Cave, David Lynch film soundtracks, and more. A live band was assembled to support the album and they quickly began writing and recording for the second album. The band played many shows in 2005 and 2006, sharing the stage with bands like I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, Early Day Miners, Windsor for the Derby, among others. The second TSK album, entitled "A Strange Labor" was released in July of 2008. It is a split release by Azteca Records and Breakeven Records, and is comprised of recordings from 2005 and 2006.

In 2007 TJ Wark (guitar, synth), Don Ocava (bass) and Jay Dyer (drums) joined The Silence Kit and after a few short months of rehearsal, the band resumed playing shows and began writing and arranging new material. The band is playing shows in support of "A Strange Labor" and are already recording new material for the band's forthcoming third album (with an expected Spring 2009 release date). 2008 has already seen the band opening for Gene Loves Jezebel and a brief encounter and interview with Robert Smith of The Cure.
