Introduction

In the ever-evolving landscape of indie rock, Silverbacks stand out as a band that deserves far more recognition than they’ve received. Emerging from Dublin’s vibrant post-punk scene, Silverbacks have crafted a sound that’s both familiar and refreshingly unique, blending sharp lyrics with irresistible hooks and intricate guitar work.

Band History

Formed by brothers Daniel and Kilian O’Kelly, Silverbacks began as a home recording project before evolving into a full-fledged band. Despite facing setbacks, including their debut album “Fad” being released during the 2020 pandemic, the group has persevered, releasing three critically acclaimed albums in just five years.

New Album: Easy Being A Winner

Silverbacks’ latest offering, “Easy Being A Winner,” showcases the band’s growth and willingness to experiment. Produced by Daniel Fox of Gilla Band, the album features a more expansive sound, with the addition of new member Paul Leamy on bass allowing Emma Hanlon to focus on keys and vocals.

Musical Evolution

From the opening track “Selling Shovels” to the Fleetwood Mac-inspired “Giving Away An Inch Of,” “Easy Being A Winner” demonstrates Silverbacks’ versatility. The band effortlessly moves from post-punk rockers to softer, more introspective pieces, all while maintaining their signature wit and observational lyrics.

Personal Growth and Artistic Development

As the band members have entered their 30s and embraced new life stages, their music has evolved to reflect these changes. Kilian’s songs explore long-term relationships, while Dan’s lyrics offer slice-of-life vignettes from his new life in Paris. This maturity has allowed Silverbacks to create music that feels both personal and universal.

Conclusion

With “Easy Being A Winner,” Silverbacks have created an album that showcases their growth as musicians and individuals. As they continue to evolve, one thing remains clear: Silverbacks are a band worth watching and listening to.
