Hello and greetings from The Silver Tear Conspiracy. We would like to thank you for your time and patience in looking over our press kit. We are a fresh indie rock band from the Knoxville Tennessee area. We have strong melodies and memorable hooks, but not in the traditional style. We like to make things creative and pleasing to the listener on all levels. Our fans like to refer to us as random eye movement eyewash, (this owing to our sound being like a modern day R.E.M.) We strive to further our career through tour and label support. We believe with the right support we could really make a huge impact on rock music all over the world. With our lingering lyrics and pounding drums accented by driving guitars we have crafted our songs, for straight up, slap you in the face rock and roll!
The Silver Tear Conspiracy began in 2007 with four members; T.J. Hopkins (Bassist, Lead Vocals), Nick Dickenson "Nick D" (Rythym Guitar, Synth), Corey Mayes (Lead Guitar, Backup Vocals), and Jeremy Fishburn (Drums). Since the day we formed we have been changing the music scene of our local area by showing that artistry is not dead in music. Crafting songs that touch the heart and minds of listeners, we speed forward taking our particular brand of rock to the listeners and showing them what it is to be truly entertained. We have had an ep release known as Polyhex: The EP (March 2008) and have already sold over two hundred copies locally. These numbers are impressive considering the local population is mostly rural. Recently our music was added to Cd baby and their many online partners (i.e. Verizon V-Cast, i-tunes, e-music etc.) and our prowess does not stop there. We have had news paper articles acclaiming our music as first rate, and our myspace is frequented by listeners daily. We also have a full line of merchandise and are ready to tour! Backing up our impressive sales and marketing, we play locally frequently, bringing a solid fan base to our home area which we are sure will grow more and more from home to national as we progress.
We are ready to advance our career through label support, Tour and record our full length album Dinosaur companion to the EP Polyhex. We hope that your label, venue, or organization can help us realize these dreams and complete our goals as musicians. Thank you again for your time and I hope you enjoy the music. It is but a small taste of what we have to offer!
