 There
is nothing "silent" about Silent Hero. Unfortunately the
words "brilliant," "dynamic," and "spectacular" don't
carry the same weight that the negation "Silent" Hero, but
they would be far more accurate. Silent Hero is the name
of the underground-rock sensation from Detroit. The music
scene in the Detroit area is a bustling center of creative
life, and Silent Hero stands out above the rest. They are
a high-energy hy-bred, modern rock meets 80's with heart
pounding double guitar harmonies and rock synthesizers
mixed with electronics. Add in a fantastic front man and
you have yourself an adrenaline rush of high-energy rock
and roll.
Here's the story: In the Fall of 2002, front man
extraordinaire Steve Kinzer (lead vocals / keys / synths /
song writer) began collaborating with guitarist Mike
Peraino and their styles blended instantly. They played
their first show a few months later in January of 2003 and
immediately astonished their listeners. Several different
musicians have graced the band's line-up, but the roster
was finally completed when guitarist/vocalist Derek Demara
joined Silent Hero and added his own dynamic brand of
vocals and guitar. Other Silent Hero staples include the
thundering bass guitar of Larry Burdick and an explosive
brand of drums and percussion by Todd K. Vesey. These five
musicians combine their talents to produce their own style
of power/pop/rock that can be universally enjoyed by all
music-lovers.
Live, they have toured all over the country and grabbed a
spot on the Vans Warped Tour. They have been featured on
multiple radio stations as well as featured on the front
page of PureVolume.com. Their interactive website receives
about 50,000 unique hits a month. They also shot a video
for their rock anthem that happens to be the title-track
off their new full-length album, "All That I Have" which
was released in January of 2006.
As quoted by a review from a popular webzine, Savage
Cabbage, "If I had to recommend one band to see live in a
lifetime, Silent Hero would be it. Their commanding stage
presence, from lead singer Steve's energetic hold of the
entire stage to drummer Todd's stoic beats from the back,
lend Silent Hero a vibe that few bands have."
