Thunderer & Excelsior

A blast of infectious eccentric British Pop influenced by Bowie, Sparks, XTC, Blur and Victorian London. Includes debut single ‘Horrors’ described by Artrocker as "a little belter".

London band Silvery release their debut album ‘Thunderer & Excelsior’ – a 14-track blast of infectious, eccentric British pop and an essential release for 2008. Immersed in a world of Victorian London and the X-Files, soundtracked by musical influences from Bowie, Blur, Sparks to XTC.

The result is an Organ-led, energetic maelstrom from a band who are “not afraid to play very fast, and not afraid to play very slow.
