"Silent Auction is a band to watch as they emerge from the underground, playing a great combination of catchy tunes, edgy lyrical sarcasm, and quality electronic production. "

The reviews are in, and man are we loving‘ ‘em!

The Amber Lights EP marks Silent Auction’s sixth release. Here the band displays a musical and lyrical maturity that, with proper exposure, will place them alongside such luminaries as Regenerator and Paradox.“Reasons to Love” features the powerhouse vocals of Terri Snyder, which fans of Aleixa’s Laurel Snapper will definitely appreciate. The programming is excellent throughout, sounding like a cross between Depech Mode and ThouShaltNot, albeit with a more FuturePop slant ala VNV Nation. The fact that Jason Barbero, who handles most of the lead vocals on the other five tracks, sounds similar to Alex Reed only reinforces this comparison. Silent Auction captures the secret behind Regenerator and Depech Mode, meaning that they have created songs that are immediately enjoyable upon first listen and improve over time. Fans of the aforementioned artists would do well to purchase this limited edition CD before it goes out of print.

This debut release by newcomer Silent Auction shows a lot of promise. At first it reminds me of Glow with a quality female vocalist and a dreamy, yet up tempo traditional SynthPop sound. But the next tracks introduce a male vocal lead, and the two begin combining their voices as the CD progresses. They have moments that remind me of the latest album by The Frozen Autumn, with a sort of modern version of Xymox. It‘s a strong introduction to the band, but a shame that it only goes on for six tracks.
