Praise for Silverbacks’ debut album Fad
“all bassline spasms, taut percussive patterns and barbed wire guitar explosions… A very strong debut” – Clash
“Fad is an excellent example of how a debut should be done” – DIY
“Stunningly energetic” – Gig Wise
“Darting between styles, this electric randomness and variety is a key component throughout Fad.” – The Line of Best Fit
“On Fad, Silverbacks are positioning themselves as the world-weary Fall-esque foils to Dublin’s fraught post-punk scene” – Loud & Quiet
“A rich, lush and engaging listen” – Louder Than War
“A thrilling debut” – Music OMH
“A twisting, spindly take on arty punk-rock, Silverbacks take the noodling attitude of early-00s New York rock and drag it across the Atlantic, frontman Daniel O’Kelly’s sing-speak-shouted vocal riding atop ever-more tangled-up guitar lines.” – NME
“Silverbacks are the band you didn’t see coming, and you sure as hell shouldn’t let them pass you by” – So Young
Band To Watch – Stereogum
“The Irish punks spin a twisted dystopian reality” – Paste
“A compelling and sure-footed debut album” – Under The Radar
“The revolution is well underway” – Upset
