Get to Know Us: Silence The Radio - Musical Notes Global

Based in Rhode Island, pop punk band Silence The Radio has made a solid name for themselves over the past few years touring the Providence and Massachusetts area.

Comprising Jack Petit (vocals, bass), Brandon Teh (guitar, vocals), Thom O'Rourke (guitar, vocals), and Josh Nardine (drums, percussion), the band just released their latest single "Friendly Neighborhood Nightmare." A super crisp high energy jam that revives the sounds of mid 2000s pop punk and alternative music, they said the song "was probably the most personal track for us to write. The titular character represents the disillusion a lot of our generation faces as we age, and the mental instability that usually follows. It’s about someone who’s become totally desensitized to their self-hatred and uncertainty, and manifesting that destructiveness into its own character. It talks about reaching that dark point where nothing matters, but in a light hearted and a slightly twisted way."

We love performing live because a stage is a place where you can let everything out. All our energy and all our emotion comes out when we're playing.

We love our fans because: We love the people who support us because they've let us show them the songs we've worked so hard on and given back so much love and encouragement.

My go-to song at the gym is:

Jack: "'Atomic Karate' by TWRP because that song will PUMP YOU UP."
Brandon: "'Killing in the Name' by RATM because it's angry and I need that at the gym almost as much as I actually need to go to the gym."
Thom: "'Technology' by Don Bronco because it's high energy and easy to work out to."
Josh: "'Run Away With Me" by Carly Rae Jepsen because Carly Rae is amazing."

My hidden talent is:

Jack: "My hidden talent is those crane games at arcades. I'm crazy good at those."
Brandon: "My hidden talent is Mario Kart."
Thom: "My hidden talent is I have none."
