Silverbacks are riding the 'Pink Tide' on new release





Words: Sam Geary 

After hearing from them at the end of last year with 'Just In The Band', check out the new single from Dublin five-piece Silverbacks.

Produced by Daniel Fox (of Girl Band), ‘Pink Tide’ - released last week - says the group's vocalist and songwriter Daniel O’Kelly, is about “trendy and stylish revolutions that lack substance and never fully materialise. The chorus is inspired by a YouTube compilation I came across called 'Make Way for The Queens Guard!!!' It's pretty much the Queen's Guard yelling the video title every time a tourist impedes them from completing their duty.

"I told Kilian about the video before he went on a short trip to London and upon his visit to Buckingham Palace he shouted out the line. His moment of inspiration wasn't very well received so we made it into a chorus."

Along with that chorus, the sub-three minute track canters along with O’Kelly's delivery spoken-type vocally leading the way over off-kilter melodies for an absorbing listen.

‘Pink Tide’ precedes Silverbacks' debut album, due later in the year.
