Today I have something a little unusual, a free mid afternoon gig, downstairs at HMV, Argyle Street, Glasgow, with Johnny, Iain, Dave, Gary & Greig, otherwise known as Six Year Silence. Johnny (vocalist) tells me this wee gig is twofold, firstly, to promote the release of their EP "Resurrected" and to give those who were unfortunate to not get a ticket to see the bands sold out show with L1NKN Park, the UKs best Linkin' Park tribute band.
The band opens with the title track from their 2021 album "King To A Clown". I am surprised with the volume inside a store that is still open for business. Second track from the bands 6 track, half hour set is the opening track from the new EP "Resurrected", which, for all intents and purposes is a continuation of their last album "My Enemy" is next and a personal favourite of mine, which was followed by another new one "In Due Time".
Johnny announces that he's not his usual chatty self as he's finding it difficult not to swear as there are kids about and inside a record store, which gets the crowd laughing. It wouldn't be a Six Year Silence gig without Johnny's ubiquitous mic and hair toss, which we get several times throughout the bands set.
We carry on with the penultimate track "Forever Burning" with Johnny telling us that this song means a lot to him personally, and more than a few of the bands fans. And just like that, we reach the last song of the set, another track from the EP, "Monster". I then join the band on stage for the "parting shot".
If you can get a chance, Six Year Silence are a band that are not only talented but put their heart and soul into every performance, and are well worth seeing. While packing their gear they took time to mingle with the crowd and posed for photos with the kids that were there too.
