They are arguably the most dynamic and energetic live act coming out of the north of England today, switching easily between driving rock and more chilled numbers, thunderous drums, funked up synth sounds, genius “lead” Bass and razor sharp, screaming guitars all lay the foundations for Bloys dark, suggestive and controversial lyrics, with his vocal delivery and antics on stage that are becoming legendary.

"The hyper, jangly (Scouse band alert!) effort 'Frantic' is the pick of the bunch with some nice lead guitar and foot to the floor beats to keep it all moving along nicely. "
- Alt Sounds
"Silver Story’s debut EP endears from the off with the pop punk of “Frantic”, a bit of relationship rock straight out of a late ‘90s American teen flick. It’s terrific fun, and aptly titled as it moves along at a relentless pace, throwing in a sassy little guitar solo. Definitely something for the approaching summer months! (soulmate:Eliminate EP)"
- Glasswerk Manchester
"Gleaming future for Silver Story boys! (soulmate:Eliminate EP)"
