Formed in 2004, the hard-working band has toured several times all over Europe, USA and Brazil; a total of 33! countries worldwide. Seeking inspiration from Social Distortion to Motorhead, The Silver Shine has managed to toss their influences with originality in a blender to create fresh and addictive music. They have got 7 full-length albums until now. Custom painted black/red upright bass, extreme energy, vintage microphones are the trademarks of the band on stage you cannot mistake for anything else.
THE SILVER SHINE formed in Budapest on the summer of 2004 with the main goal to take some pleasing minutes / hours / years for the fans of punk rock, psychobilly and rockabilly music. All the members had experience in active bands before they formed The Silver Shine. The final line-up is: Krista Kat – double bass, Ati Edge – guitar/vocals, Furo – drums.
They recorded their first EP in February 2005 and it came out as 7″ on COMMITMENT RECORDS in The Netherlands during the summer of 2005. The debut EP contains 6 songs and it shows you the punk side of the band. After a couple of bigger shows the band went to studio in November 2005 to record their first full-length. Their first full-length album titled “NIGHTMARE” came out on CD by the German label called CRAZY LOVE RECORDS. This album includes 14 songs and follows the psychobilly path including punkabilly roots. The gigs / gig-invitations multiplied after their debut album and they went to stage with bands like MAD SIN, The METEORS, REZUREX, KLINGONZ, PEACOCKS, PHANTOM ROCKERS, DEADLINE, etc. in Hungary and in the abroad. The first European-tour of The Silver Shine had happened in the September of 2006 as “Nightmare Tour” and the guys showed the Hungarian derring-do in Spain, France and Germany. The welcome of the band was very good and they have got very good criticism everywhere.
After this tour their first double bassist changed to Frenk Set and after some hard months in rehearsal room the band recorded their second full-length album. It came out also by the meanest psychobilly label named CRAZY LOVE RECORDS on CD and LP titled “DON’T TRUST THE GIRL WITH THE CHAINSAW”.
