SilverHorizon’s self-titled debut feels like a record pulled from the passenger seat of a well-used car: familiar, uncomplicated, and ready to play loudly with the windows down. The Massachusetts trio favors direct rhythms, clean guitar lines, and choruses designed to settle in quickly. Its 13 songs revisit the approachable side of 1990s alternative rock while tracing the uncertainty, ambition, and self-questioning that often accompany early adulthood.

Formed in Worcester County in 2024, SilverHorizon consists of guitarist and vocalist Bryce Broberg, bassist and vocalist Connor MacEachern, and drummer and vocalist Kenny Snider. The three musicians work from a modest but dependable vocabulary of bright guitar tones, firm backbeats, and pop-minded melodies while shifting between nervous momentum, summery ease, and more reflective moods.

Opener “Come Down” establishes the album’s ’90s character with a straightforward 4/4 groove and flashes of promise, though it never fully escapes the conventions it draws upon. “Where Do We Go?” poses one of rock music’s most frequently recycled questions, while “I Don’t Care” alternates between major and minor chord progressions over another steady 4/4 beat. These early songs are accessible, energetic and fun.

“Better Than This” is the best song on the album in my opinion. It's one of the album’s more contemporary-sounding tracks, it benefits from strong vocals, a crisp guitar groove, active bass work, and a chorus that earns its catchiness. I liked the balance of restraint and momentum here, and I hope to hear more songs like it from the group. “Goin’ Too Fast,” the album’s other standout, finds similar success through solid riffs and a groove that carries more personality than much of the surrounding material. I found a lot of the other songs to be accessible and easy to appreciate.

​I came of age in the 1990s, and I could hear that decade’s influence throughout this album. SilverHorizon favors simple arrangements and pop-forward melodies, avoiding complicated time signatures and abrupt key changes. That simplicity is not necessarily a weakness; this is music built for immediate familiarity rather than close technical study. The band is off to a solid start and look forward to hearing how they evolve over time. Check this out!
