Silverbacks Premiere New Girl Band-Produced Single 'Dunkirk' At Paste
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Dublin art-punks Silverbacks stomp back into action in 2018 with the release of their new single produced by Girl Band's Daniel Fox 'Dunkirk' on June 15th through their own PK Miami Records. Today, the band have premiered the single on Soundcloud at Paste where it was described as "jagged and menacing".

"The song is about a character who is questioning the life they have been dealt," Silverbacks explain. "They find themselves in a near dystopian future where Dunkirk, despite its history, has become a built-up holiday destination for young families."

Underpinned by an insistent, nagging bassline and creepy crawly guitar lines, it provides the ideal vehicle for frontman Daniel O'Kelly's stream of consciousness ramblings about martial strife, the perfect sandcastle and spotting a con artist when he sees one. Produced by Girl Band's Daniel Fox, the track lurches forth, pressure building from the undulating backbeat and layers of skronking guitars accenting Daniel's increasingly frazzled yelps before finally collapsing into a sugar sweet coda. Indie kids no more, Silverbacks mean business and 'Dunkirk' is a powerful first move. The single is accompanied by a brilliantly creative video from Belgian graphic designer and artist Cameron Francis Taylor.

Hailing from Dublin, Silverbacks are a thrilling prospect, delivering their own louche take on NYC-indebted rock: slack enough for the tastemakers while also mining the gems of a pop vein, catching the ears of those with a taste for a good hook. Now a full-fledged five piece after graduating from the bedroom project of songwriting brothers Kilian and Daniel O'Kelly, they ply their trade with as much emphasis on the dry humour running through Daniel's lyrics as the propulsive, triple guitar-led onslaught in their music.

Last year's 'Sink The Fat Moon' EP had the band lighting up their homeland, with nods from BBC's Across The Line, RTE's Dan Hegarty, The Irish Times, The Thin Air and Nialler9 amongst others. They followed up with riotous single 'Just for a Better View' before the end of the year, drawing more accolades and setting themselves up for an exciting 2018.

Silverbacks are:
Daniel O'Kelly - Guitar, Vocals
Kilian O'Kelly - Guitar, Vocals
Peadar Kearney - Guitar
Emma Hanlon - Bass, Vocals
Gary Wickham - Drums
