THE SILVERLITES – New Rock Supergroup Drop First Single ‘DON’T GO, DON’T STAY’
New striking strokes
14 October 2024
SILVERLITES is a new supergroup project featuring R.E.M.’s Peter Buck,
Black Crowes’ Rich Robinson, Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees/Mad Season,
and singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur who was first discovered by Peter Gabriel.
Martin: “It started in a Nashville hotel room in 2019. We spent the pandemic years doing various recording and mixing sessions, and we used a classic songwriting form, which is often forgotten in this day and age. That is, acoustic guitars (with a little electric guitar in there), with superb lead vocals, catchy backing vocals, and a soulful backbeat in the rhythm section. It’s
old school songwriting, just like us.”
First single DON’T GO, DON’T STAY
is a jangly mid-tempo burning torch
of a song. Nice.
Wake up people
and feel super.
