New single from Silver Relics

Silver Relics is a New York-based psych-rock outfit founded and led by songwriter Alex Sepassi who’ve been making an impact in the music world since the project was started in late 2017. With a sound that draws heavily from iconic bands like Nirvana, The Cure, Slowdive and Pink Floyd, Silver Relics bridges the gap between modern alternative rock and the classic rock influences that shaped the genre’s foundation.

Sepassi’s journey as a musician began early starting at age ten when he developed his skills as a vocalist and performer and by his late teens, he was already a prolific songwriter. His influences range from the British rock titans of the 1960s and 70s like The Beatles and The Beach Boys, to the more experimental psychedelia and brooding indie rock of the 80s, which he deftly threads into his own compositions.

The band’s debut album, Generic., released in May 2019, established Silver Relics as a must-watch act in the psych-rock scene. Produced by Howie Beno, the album earned attention both sides of the Atlantic, propelling the band onto a successful tour of Ireland and the UK.

Their lineup has evolved over the years, with the band now operating as a trio with the addition drummer Hitomi Nakamura and bassist and songwriter Garrett De Temple. With a new full-length record set to drop this autumn, Silver Relics has released their latest single, “Blood Is Blood,” offering an exciting window into what’s to come.

Serving up an epic six minute journey of psychedelic-tinged rock music, “Blood Is Blood” flows from the gentle guitar twangs and rattle of drums into a smooth groove as Alex’s vocal leads drift above the groove of the arrangement. Stepping up the energy, the track takes flight for a rousing chorus of memorable vocal hooks and shaking rhythms before dropping back into the softer aesthetic of the verse.

Developing with delicate guitar layers while Alex continues to deliver his compelling vocals, the song builds to a fuzzy, psyched-out instrumental section before launching into one last chorus to craft a memorable finale. With their upcoming record on the horizon and a growing fanbase across the USA and Europe, Silver Relics are set to continue going from strength to strength on their thrilling musical adventure.
