Silent Theory is an American nu metal band from Moscow, Idaho, United States.[2][3] It was founded in 2010 by drummer Mitch Swanger and lead vocalist Nick Osborn[4][5] before adding rhythm guitarist Bob James and Swanger's brothers, lead guitarist Scott and bassist George. Nick Osborn left the band in 2013, and in 2014, Dakota Jerns joined them as the lead vocalist.
Background
[edit]The band was signed to Turkey Vulture Records in 2010, where they recorded and released their debut album, Black Tie Affair, in 2011. Following the national tour after the album's release, Nick Osborn left the band to pursue other opportunities, and the rest left the label to go fully independent. In 2013, the band recruited singer Sean Walker from Seattle, Washington, and the band recorded their only single with Sean, "Outta My Head". Sean left the band to pursue other musical interests, which left the band at a standstill. In 2014, through mutual friends, the band was introduced to vocalist Dakota Jerns.
The band found recognition when the lead single song of Delusions, "Fragile Minds",[6] charted both on radio and YouTube, becoming the band's first video to reach over 1,000,000 views. In 2021, the band signed with Paul Crosby Management, owned by Paul Crosby, the former drummer of the band Saliva.[7][8]
On 24 October 2024, the ensemble is scheduled to perform at Taffeta Music Hall in Lowell, Massachusetts with American alternative metal band Major Moment.[9]
