Artist of The Week 6/13/10-The SilenTreatment

This Week, The Mad HairBear Bunch take up the mantra of handling the artist of the week, and our choice is The SilenTreatment!

Hailing from the Scranton/Wilkes Barre, PA Area the band was formed in 2006 when Anthony Giamusso got together with Sam Chiarelli, and the band’s nucleus was formed.  Tony and Sam tracked down Mike Sharkey, Mark Lieback, and Stephen Martin and the rest as they say is history.

The guys while playing gigs in 2007 caught the attention of a management firm, and began recording their debut album Sinful Acts of Audio and immediately after release, the band was catapulted to the top of the indie music charts with Pretty Little Girl spending several weeks in the #1 slot along with tracks like Boogie, and Sweet Ending all showing the band’s versitillity, and attention to not only the licks, but the lyrics as well.

Tony’s been quoted as saying “The songs on Sinful Acts of Audio rock and ooze emotion. “We think ’Sinful’ is a damn sexy record,” Giamusso adds. “It really captures the true essence of the band. There are 10 songs full of love, lust and passion that everyone can relate to.”

July of 2009 brought us the release of the 4 song EP, titled “Passion In Progress” and once again showed the talents of the band, and gave them the chance to “hone the ST sound” and has been well received by fans, and radio stations around the world.

This year, the gang’s back in the studio turning out more music, and have also included a podcast of their own called The TST Fancast along with several videos posted on YouTube, as well as their music videos.

Listeners can purchase the band’s albums and individual tracks on iTunes, as well as albums on the band’s website

If  the first two albums were a prequel, the junior offering from this group of guys is going to be AMAZING!!!
