Lyrics :
Fading Lights

These fading lights upon the sky
Hold me, hold me, I will cry
These empty dreams, the wasted lands
Love me, love me, I’m fragile

And so on time will slide away
As we watch them sink astray

So much time that we spend 
Leave it, leave it, is unfair 
To explain the moral state
Granted through, a sharp foray

And so on time will slide away
As we watch them slip astray

There's no life to be blamed
The lonely paths of this way 
The blurry words that we said 
Touch them and don't regret

Coma 1

This album is a collection of the jams we, The Rookery, recorded at our first event on 20/08/16. These tracks were all entirely improvised and yet they still sound decent which is a testament to all the musicians involved! 

If you make it through all 18 tracks you're a hero!

You might find Alien girl or boy among your friends.
This is irony for them :)

For in Much Wisdom Is Much Grief

For in Much Wisdom Is Much Grief, Pt.3

I wrote the song during my second semester in college about 2-3 months ago. I was laying down on my couch, looking at the Christmas lights my roommates and I set up for the room. While looking at the lights I thought " I wonder if someone at this exact moment is thinking about me and hopes to find me" like it's written in the stars for me and her to be together we just have to find each other first. Then it clicked! I began to write the lyrics, melody and piano part that same night! I called it stars in my room to reference the X-Mas lights in my dorm room. I use space as the main metaphor to drive the song's overall arc/story. The cover is something I drew/ designed myself using a polaroid picture of my dorm room and a few cut out drawings! After practicing the vocals and piano part, the song was ready to record!!! I co-produced this track with my friend and I am really happy with the final product of this song. I hope you enjoy it! Have a great day!

As One Does

μ-Ziq - Twangle Frent (paulytools Remix)

Gripping vocals, shredding musicianship and optimistic impelling lyrics are the meat and potatoes of SIVLE’s debut effort, Whatever It Takes. SIVLE’s percussive rock anthem is capable of taking listeners to another place while creating a marching crescendo that echoes -- music is good for the soul. 
Whatever It Takes is as pure and emotional as it gets. 

With thick layers of instrumentation and a tender ear for sophisticated pop poignancy; SIVLE combines the trademark powerful in-your-face pipes of lead singer Joan Minnery and the mastery of aficionados Bill Minnery on guitar, Brad Bridges on drums and bigEZbob on rhythm.  This band has always been known for their live show but they’ve crafted a tightly produced, catchy hook-laden rock ballad appealing to indie, folk, and pop fans alike. 

From start – finish Whatever It Takes explosive rock anthem punches into the ears and ignites the heart to believe in yourself … dream big --- and then DREAM BIGGER!!!  If you want to be unforgettable, you have to believe you’re inevitable.  Make them talk about you before you go, do it loud, do it proud -- Whatever It Takes!

Whatever It Takes

Whatever It Takes - SIVLE

Compelling vocals, charismatic musicianship and hockey induced lyrics are the heart of SIVLE’s, What Would Walter Do:  A high-energy percussive, rockabilly delight, reminiscent of the early days of rock ‘n’ roll with an edge of avant-garde.  

With thick layers of innovative musicality and a progressive ear for sophisticated music poignancy; SIVLE combines the trademark powerful pipes of lead singer Joan Minnery and the mastery of aficionados Bill Minnery on guitar, Brad Bridges on drums and bigEZbob on rhythm.  This band has always been known for their live shows but they’ve crafted a tightly produced, hook-laden rockabilly tune appealing to music and hockey fans alike.    And let’s face it everyone loves Walter Gretzky!!!

What Would Walter Do is a tribute to every person who has ever faced adversity and an appreciative salute to the game of Hockey.  Ultimately, it’s a celebratory testament to the man himself who exemplifies each Canadian’s commitment to Keep Canada Awesome – No Matter What The Odds!!!  

What Would Walter Do takes us on a fast paced journey through clever hockey references; acknowledging that even if life doesn’t seem to be coming up roses, sun will always find a way to crack through and tomorrow just might be better.  You’ve got to pick yourself up, dust off and keep your stick along the ice because that’s what Walter Would Do!

'Mistakes' is nothing more or less than a simple love song. Melodic and a little bit edgy, just like Cindy and me. Alt rock meets dream pop. Thank you everyone for listening and supporting Para Lia!

lyrics:

i found you waiting in the backyard
of my selfmade house of cards
you are like the sunrise that breaks the dark

all my mistakes led me to you
we are riding with the past into something new

my broken road is filled with ghosts
and some of my steps left potholes in my soul
it's a fine line between love and pain
you're touching my mind, you keep me sane

all my mistakes led me to you
we are riding with the past into something new
it's long overdue

When The Music Dies - ft nakedverse

Final track from the first ever album with a full band.

The whole album was recorded at rehearsals with just a couple of ZOOM microphones. I then over dubbed vocals in my home studio.

Expertly mastered by The Turtle Project with thanks!

LYRICS
Well it was fun while it lasted
But now I feel like I`ve been blasted
Into outer space
Looking down on the human race

You know i feel jaded
My life infiltrated
By monotony and apathy
A constant, incessant insanity!

Disconnected again 
Looking at fake fame
Reality TV show me
How this will make us evolve please!

You know i feel jaded
My life infiltrated
By monotony and apathy
A constant, incessant insanity!

Well it was fun while it lasted
But now I feel like I`ve been blasted
Into outer space
Looking down on the human race

You know i feel jaded
My life infiltrated
By monotony and apathy
A constant, incessant insanity!

Heart-Breaker

Heart Breaker - KIDD DREADD + Bill Minnery

SIVLE (Elvis spelt backwards and pronounced civil) is a versatile Rock and Roll band from Brantford Ontario, Canada, belting out an arsenal of legendary cover tunes from the 50s - today as well as many originals.  SIVLE's regular show of songs from Yesteryear and Today features a crowd-induced trip down memory lane of hits from Elvis, Lady GaGa, Miley Cyrus, Pink, Janis, CCR, the Beatles, Johnny Cash, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Jimi Hendrix and much well-known radio hits from the last 60 years!!!

The eclectic and diversified trio is female-fronted by powerhouse Joan Minnery. On lead guitar/vocals is Bill Minnery, and Dan Taylor fills out the trio on guitar/vocals/drums. SIVLE also has a 4-piece full band unit.  SIVLE has an active loyal following called their SIVLEization.

SIVLE was formed in 2017 with opportunities that include being the opening act for the 2019 WTFest Rock Festival, featured entertainment at the 2019 Brantford Mayor's Levee and headlining both the Find Your Spirit Fest & Downtown Music Fest in 2018. SIVLE also appeared at the 2022 Summer Street Festival in Woodstock. The popular band has packed rooms across Ontario and most notably they were featured at the 2023 World Music Festival in Mississauga. 

Their brand-new album "Bless This House" features seven (7) original tunes all written by members of the band.  The songs highlight Joan Minnery on lead/backup vocals, Bill Minnery on lead vocals and guitar/bass and Dan Taylor on lead/backup vocals as well as guitar/bass and keys.  Bob Minnery -- bigEZbob appears on banjo on Bless This House.

The uniqueness of the album -- Bless This House is that it features several vocal tracks from the two guys in the band, as most of Sivle's work has always been with Joan as the lead vocalist.  

Bill's songs "Epiphany" and I Can't Find My Way" reflect his guitar virtuosity in Progressive Rock/Blues, Dan's songs "Looking at You" and "Feels Like Home" lean towards Soft Rock with likeable hooks, while Joan remains true to her roots with Country Rock in the title track "Bless This House" about her father and her autobiographical "I'm Not Giving Up This Mic. Then the band veers off in an old school Psychedelic Pop anthem in "Sing IT Like Pearl." 

Their albums feature songs that Joan, Bill and Dan have written independently and then arranged together as a trio while sprinkling a glitter of guitar-laden rock and pop into the finalization of 3 very unique styles.  

Sivle's new album was recorded in the fall of 2023 and produced in Brantford Ontario Canada by Tyler Wilson -- who also appears as a supporting musician on several tracks

Band History: 

SIVLE was formed in 2017 and has had the opportunity to be the opening act for the 2019 WTFest Rock Festival and be the featured entertainment at the 2019 Mayor's Levee at the Brantford Armouries. SIVLE headlined the 2018 FIND YOUR SPIRIT FEST and the 2018 Downtown Music Fest both at Harmony Square in Brantford. They appeared at the 2022 Summer Street Festival in Woodstock.

The popular band has packed rooms at the Sanderson Centre, Corktown Pub, Delhi Harvest Fest, Jeffery’s Lounge, Manny’s Place, Branch 90 Legion, Tansley's, Upper Thames Brewery, the Norfolk County Fair, the Polish Hall, Paris Street Jams, Woodstock Navy Club, Ironworks Restaurant, Frankies Tavern, the St. George Legion, the Honest Lawyer, the Woodstock Cheese Fest, and the Norwich Museum. SIVLE appears at a variety of festivals, fairs and local establishments, including a bi-monthly residency at the Duke on Park in Brantford.

At the 2023 World Music Festival, the popular trio debuted their new all-original show in front of a live audience. Their original set features songs that Joan, Bill and Dan have written independently and then arranged together as a trio while sprinkling a glitter of guitar-laden rock and pop into the finalization of 3 very unique styles.

When the full band is out, legendary female musician Jamie Reinhart joins in on bass and vocals. Joan's brother Bob Minnery aka bigEZbob is also out periodically as a guest on rhythm acoustic. Bob has been instrumental in writing all of the first recordings of original tunes as well as their sister, Anne Minnery.

SIVLE has two distinct shows. The first is the full-piece band showcase with drums, bass, guitar and vocals, which is preferred for bars, taverns, bigger stages and outdoor festivals. The other is the more scaled-down three-piece acoustic, which goes over very well, in particular for smaller stages, matinees and legions. A SIVLE show features music from Elvis, the Beatles, CCR, Pink, Lady Gaga, and Janis Joplin and includes a wide variety of hits from Today and Yesteryear. There is something for everyone.

"We are overwhelmingly gobsmacked with the release of our new album - which we released in November 2023. We are currently in rotation in Germany, the U.K., Australia, the U.S., and Canada. Holy frijoles what a firestorm. Our original tunes have also been on both the 2022 and 2023 Brantford Trail Mix CD. We never saw this coming; we used to be just a 'cover' band. More is coming in 2024."

We look forward to hearing from you and playing for you very soon

Musically Yours,
Joan Minnery & SIVLE

Fan Quotes: 

"As always -- SIVLE is a must see live! You can't see the energy this band gives off until you see them live. They connect with their fans and our energy feeds their energy.  If you only see their show once, you have to return to a number of shows to witness the change from show to show, it’s an absolute delight! While contemplating SIVLE, I couldn’t help but think of the Grateful Dead who were one of the early pioneers of direct relationships with their live show fans and renown for fusing many different styles together. SIVLE is the Grateful ALIVE.” ~ Ken Shipman, Brantford ON

 “The standard of musicianship was fantastic, unleashing their full charge of extraordinary talent. Their fiery performance hit the audience roaring with committed versions of songs people wanted to hear. Transformed in time, this band captivated the swaying crowd with their exuberant enthusiasm, explosive energy & vocals that propelled the show to epic levels." ~ Anna Fornella, Brantford ON
