In March of 2008 their debut EP “Songs For Selfish Lovers” was released. On this you could hear the blend of many influences ranging from Radiohead to Jeff Buckley, U2 to The Postal Service to even Warren Zevon. Rave reviews and consistent local radio play followed. The success of the group was growing and within months they were headlining some of the biggest rock clubs in Boston.

ATTENTION, ATTENTION all major labels looking for a can't loss pop/rock band.
Speakermute is the answer. They have everything that it takes to be a chart topping act. They write catchy songs that are easy to understand and sing along to (not to mention remember). They have talent at every instrument. The singers voice is distinctive not just another voice in a sea of copy cat rockers.

This is a can't loss score.

Speaker./mute is a melodically influenced rock band that formed in 2005. It is currently based just outside Boston in the city of Lowell, Massachusetts. Speaker./mute incorporates melodic tendencies found in many styles of music and blend them with solid grooves with pop-like progressions. With the addition of multiple effects, thoughtful harmonic orientations, and tight drumming the group has been able to produce an original sound uncharacteristic to many current groups out there.

This CD was one of the first CD's to arrive after I assumed the title of Indie Artist Reviewer for EvO:R. Because of possible threatening legal action I had with one of the first CD reviews I did I was a little gun shy about giving my opinion for a little while. As a result, I took a couple months off from doing CD reviews and contemplated pulling the free service completely.

After an evaluation of the whole review process I felt it was important to continue our review process because bands like Speakermute need to have the support of EvO:R and the whole Independent music network.

The CD was a 6 song EP and every song caught my attention. The band has a polished sound and stlye that reminds me of Cold Play meets U2. Even the instrumental song "At Dawn We Drove to Billings" was a good listen even though it didn't fit in with the rest of the songs on this EP. I would have loved to plug in my Les Paul and record a screaming guitar solo over that tune.

Overall, the style was fresh and inviting. The vocals where clear, understandable and well developed. The music was well recorded with a professional sound that leads me to believe that this band was serious about every phase of their CD release. I really believe that this band has what it takes to be a major label act that could sell millions of CD's. Somebody out there, give this band a shot!
