MY SILENT BRAVERY QUICKLY RACKING UP SPINS AND ACCOLADES

Worcester Based Band Sells Out CD Release Party/Climbing FMQB Charts

Worcester, MA—Rock band My Silent Bravery released its debut album, Are You Prepared? on March 23, and appears to have busted out of the gate like a horse preparing for the Kentucky Derby. The band (which technically began as The Matt Shwachman Band) sold out its CD release show at Harper’s Ferry in Boston on March 27, and the lead single, “Not Necessarily So,” has been steadily climbing the FMQB A/C Charts and currently sits at #28.

My Silent Bravery also reached the Final Four of Alternative Addiction’s “Next Big Thing,” and will kick off the next leg of its east coast tour with an appearance on Philadelphia’s NBC affiliated “The 10 Show” tomorrow (Thursday) at 10 am ET. Shows will follow in Alexandria, Washington, DC and Philadelphia (World Café). For more information and full tour itinerary please visit www.myspace.com/mysilentbravery.

About My Silent Bravery

Worcester-based My Silent Bravery has hit its stride with a brand new (and technically debut) album, Are You Prepared? The release comes on the heels of MSB’s (as the Matt Shwachman Band) recent, successful placements on the WB’s “One Tree Hill” and MTV’s “Real World Cancun” and “Real World D.C.” These placements, along with a rigorous show schedule and airplay at over 200 college radio stations, have helped the band steadily and organically grow a dedicated fan base. Musically, MSB draws comparisons from Maroon 5 and One Republic to John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Tom Petty and Five for Fighting. With the release of Are You Prepared?, My Silent Bravery will add comparisons to Warner Brother’s powerhouse act Mute Math.

Reuniting with Andy Gallagher (who produced MSB’s Uncharted Territory) preserves the depth and writing process from MSB’s previously successful projects. Additional members of My Silent Bravery, Hugh Allen on bass, Mike Fiore on lead guitar, and Dana Bonardi on percussion, add new depth to the recording, incorporating elements from their nearly 150 shows over the past 18 months. During this time, the full crew has shared the stage with top national acts including Eve 6, Keith Kane of Vertical Horizon, and Jeffrey Gaines, among others.
