BAND BIO
The Silence Factory is: Nathan McNevin (guitar / lead vocal), Nathan Schiller (lead guitar / backing vocals) and Nick Predhomme (drums).
The band formed in October of 2015 and has been playing shows across Canada ever since.  They entered a number of competitions in 2016 and placed in the top 10 for their region in CBC Searchlight and took first place in the Windsor/Walkerville Fringe Festival Battle of the Bands.  Notably in June of 2016 the band took first place in Rocksearch sponsored by 97.7 HTZ FM out of Niagara.  This prestigious contest helped launch the careers of many rock bands including the Standstills, Glorious Sons, My Darkest Days, The Trews and Finger Eleven.
Their debut CD released in February 2016 has received critical acclaim from Canadian Beats magazine and the Windsor Independent magazine.  Canadian Beats had this to say about the album:
Drawing on modern rock acts Reignwolf, the Living End, Billy Talent, Our Lady Peace, and Matthew Good, mixed with the classic sounds of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, NM&TSF are helping usher in a new wave of emo-rock with the listenability of pop, the intensity of emo, and the power of hard rock.  This band has a sound that the riff aficionado, the hip dance, and the tortured writer can go to on a date together and all enjoy the show.
In music cinema and folklore, audiences appreciate the story of the long-term musician plugging away for decades until finally making it, are awed by the sudden risen star, the musician who is discovered and instantly famous, or, through a series of fortunate musical events, creates a spontaneous and rapid name for themselves.
TSF fall into the latter category, a group who, since forming last November, have had a series of serious commercial accolades including winning the 2016 97.7 HTZ-FM’s Rocksearch, being a Regional Top 10 finalist for CBC Searchlight, and being the 2016 Windsor-Walkerville Fringe Festival Battle Winners.  NM&TSF carries a mighty rock and roll axe drawing serious blood with each swing.
The Silence Factory will be travelling across Canada again in 2017 on a 23-date tour.  In between shows they will be working on recording new material and hope to put out a new album in the summer.  The band’s latest single, “High” released in January of 2017 was produced by Gavin Brown at Noble Street Studios and the band plans to record one more single with Gavin in the spring.  The band will also be working with Vic Branco at Iguana Studios.
