Silver Tears have arrived and are poised to be part of the cookie called NWOIHM. In a time when majority of National bands are too self-involved to create music that anyone can relate to, it’s a welcome change that Silver Tears don’t take themselves too seriously and are clearly having fun whilst still developing their sound.

These six lads are the sauce to an Indian band sandwich. They pull together the thick sliced foundations of honest, shout-loud songs from bands like Dream Theater and Textures yet still manage to cover the acquired taste of storytelling lyrics- an art highly favored by the present day kings of Prog-Rock Porcupine tree. It’s impressive that Silver Tears manage to remain influenced by some great International bands yet have weaved enough of their own uplifting, street-smart quality and demeanor into their music, making them incomparable to any singular band in today’s scene.

As individuals, we have all, been let down; tormented by how our Governments choose to treat us. Innocent lives wasted, hard-earned property destroyed, lives sold, souls molested. 
Is this really the life that you want to lead? Do you really want to see your mothers and daughters being raped? 
Is this so called ‘civilization’- the true progress of the human society? 

We can be the change. 

All of us have become mere puppets and this we should choose to defy. 

Forget what your textbooks tell you. 

Don’t be at ease thinking that you will see a better tomorrow, unless you can make one for yourself. 

Defy the system, for the system is nothing but a set of rules that bind YOU and no-one else. Defy your leaders, because your leaders forget who you are once they are elected. Defy the government, for the government is nothing but a bunch of cannibals happily feasting on your miserable lives.

Civilization is a failure- let’s get together and decide what we want to do next.
