Mark Engebretson (vocals/percussion), Eric Pierson (guitars/vocals), Steve Olson (bass/vocals) and Jerry Johnson (drums/vocals) are The Silverteens. The band has been in local bands for a long time and very much like myself can’t seem to stop playing music. Their release The 3 for 3 EP is a no frills style rock that is fun, catchy and has a good amount of attitude.
The songs are short and to the point like punk intended. There is no extra fat on these songs starting with “Drive On.” The title really tells the whole vibe of the song. It's a driving song (no pun intended) that just keeps the energy up and exciting the whole time. There aren’t many lyrics to the song besides the actual title itself but I’m all for brevity and enjoy the anthemic qualities that you might compare to The Who. Up next is “Do Ya Wanna” which is the longest song at about three minutes. The song is certified garage rock. There is more than a hint of punk rock bands including The Clash and The Ramones. I loved the vocal harmonies on this song. They close with “Outside Chance” which might be the highlight. It’s just an infectious and catchy song that has a whole lot of vibrant energy. Speaking of energy these young chaps have more energy in their music than most bands in their twenties. I think their show would be a blast. The 3 for 3 EP isn’t an EP that is reinventing the wheel nor do I think for a second that it is even attempting to do so. It seems that the main objective is for the band members themselves to have a good time and in doing so hope the listeners feel the same way. I can say that was certainly the case for myself.
