Icelandic band Silt (aka
Botnledja),
have come to invade the UK.
Most definitely Iceland's best export this trio are
determined
to make an impact on any one who crosses their path!
Heidar (vocals and guitar) Raggi (bass) & Halli
(drums)
formed back in 1995. After 2 years of hard labour they
had
their first "big break" in 1997 this break came
in the form of Blur, Silt toured along side the British
band when Damon Albarn announced they were the best band
to ever come out of Iceland.
Since then the boys have matured (perhaps in a kinda
crazy
alternate way) writing and performing their strongest
records
to date.
The In Line EP is a rock EP but with unique charisma, an
array of melodies. From loud "shouting" to
faint
whispers, energy never lacks when listening to this band.
All the songs on the EP grew from original rock roots and
then evolved into something volcanic and unique. Just
like
their home land.
