Silent Rival
May 18, 2018
The Los Angeles based band, Silent Rival, recently released the video for their newest track, “Just One Voice.” Currently in the middle of recording their follow-up to their debut "The Kindness Of Strangers" with Alain Johanes (Queens Of The Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys, Jimmy Eat World) producing, this first single, "Just One Voice", mixed by Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, KISS), is a searing and modern tale of revolution through strength in numbers.
Speaking about the video, Silent Rival vocalist Sara Coda says, “Joz started sketching ‘Just One Voice’ in a hotel room in Colorado. I remember hearing it for the first time and dropping everything else that was in process and focusing on it because I loved the melody. It was such a fun song for me to sing and I wanted it to be something that would make others want to sing too. As a band, we choose to reject the belief that we’re living in a messed up world. We love this world, despite its faults. We realize that we have to take responsibility for this world that we’ve created, and with that responsibility comes the power to change it. I see people working to change the world for the better every day. This song is for that army of people.”
Silent Rival is made up of Sara Coda [vocals], Joz Ramirez [guitar] and Yutaka Sao [bass]. Born and raised in Orange County, Coda channels the soul of Gladys Knight through Steven Tyler-style swagger and bravado. Hailing from Mexico, Joz draws heavily on nineties British garage-rock punctuated by just the right amount of glam, while Yutaka crossed the Pacific from Japan in order to chase his musical dream. Each one brings something distinct, dynamic, and definitive to the fold. The singular magic these musicians conjured on their independent debut "The Kindness Of Strangers" on Listen Loud Records.
Silent Rival is very busy this summer with tour dates all over the U.S.
