The Silent Order - Garagey grunge punk from the Northeast

http://www.musicalley.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php?BandHash=7e5e722ac53c64817f0e7b5097e27354Good lord that is an ugly link.  But I guess if it gets the job done, it doesn't matter.  Hi, I'm Drew.  That's my new band, The Silent Order.  We're a little more grunge than garage punk(I think so, anyway) but we like to keep it raw and I hope you guys like the music anyway.  See More

"I had forgotten about this place(which is a shame, the discussion is a lot better than on a lot of other music boards).  Hope there's another Hideout Comp soon so I can submit a track from my band."

Drew Smith replied to Recordgrooves's discussion What are you drinking now? in the group Rhythm & Booze
"I finally got to try Irn-Bru, the "national drink of Scotland".  Discovered that combining that with some Fernet Branca makes for a really tasty drink.  So tasty in fact that you'll drink a few more than you should."

Vox Phantom style custom guitar for sale

So I've decided to part ways with one of my guitars, and it seems like the type of thing that the Garage Punk set will like.  It's a custom job that I picked up from a friend, he's a pretty talented luthier and an absolute mad scientist when it comes to throwing guitars together. Modeled on an old Teisco Phantom body; two dirty humbucker pickups instead of the three single coils, slimmer neck than the Teisco(I think it started life as a Dano neck, but I have nothing beyond my own suspicions yo…See More
