SOCIAL The White Label Collection
In an era of wannabee bands, mostly spurred on by the punk movement and fawned over by NME and the likes, it's a welcome relief to hear a new band who can actually write decent songs and play their instruments with some aplomb.
Tuneful rock that belongs more in the West Coast school of rock - big on melody, big on choruses and easy on the ear - is in short supply these days, but this 5 track ep makes up for that showing great promise. The band draw on songwriting influences such as the Beatles and Oasis to deliver their own brand of breezy pop / rock.
Now that's what I call 'proper' rock music.

Based in Surrey, SOCIAL are a hard working band banging out anthemic tunes with catchy licks. Formed in the early part of 2006 they have been going from strength to strength ever since. Having been warmly received at some of londons most influential venues they remain firmly dedicated to the goal that every unsigned act set out to achieve, i'm sure you can guess what that is.
Please feel free to check out the tunes, pics etc etc and comment wherever possible, after all, all you guys out there are the only people in this world who can get us to where we need to be.
It's a place for bands to explain how they book shows. Comes along with news on web technologies, recording gizmos as well as music industry trends and anecdotes.
We wanted to let you know we have a massive gig coming up that we'd love you to be a part of.
On Tuesday 19th August SilverSky have been invited to play at the legendary Carling Academy in Islington as part of a JAR music Industry showcase.
JAR have previously helped launch The Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand & Bullet For My Valentine amongst others, and we've managed to swing a handful of tickets for this prestigious showcase event.
Contact us now to get your hands on tickets at the reduced price of 6 quid, but hurry as we're running out fast!
