The Silverados
With their debut single, All Goes Right, coming out early August, The Silverados are driving down the road to success unironically in their Chevy Silverado.
Before they were trading riffs and lyrics, they were coworkers, artists, and friends-of-friends just orbiting each other. Now? They’re a laser-focused three-piece channeling the spirit of British punk, the grit of underground rock, and the kind of chemistry that can’t be manufactured.
“So, how did this start?”
Despite living in different places, fate (along with a bit of Patrick’s wrangling) brought the band together. Patrick met all around creative and bassist, Maxwell, in New York. Thanks to a mutual friend- Makayla, Patrick’s longtime friend and Maxwell’s girlfriend. Patrick was impressed by his artistic skills, including his tattoo artistry (he has done all of Patrick's tattoos.) Kyle came into the picture originally as a co-worker in retail. Instead of asking what aisle the hiking boots were on, Patrick began to ask Kyle questions like “what exactly is a back beat?” or “why are there so many songs in 4/4?” Soon enough, Kyle joined as the drummer. In the beginning, the band had a couple different line up changes. But, a serendipitous phone call that Maxwell received at a gas station solidified the final line up of The Silverados.
The Three Piece
With just three members, The Silverados don't plan on expanding the band. “It feels more connected and a little more intimate.” Maxwell says. Patrick then adds, “We’re heavily inspired by tight three-piece bands—like The Jam, Paul Weller’s band. That big, lean sound is what we aim for.”
Patrick is the resident song writer and voice behind The Silverados. He is deeply inspired by British rock legends, especially Paul Weller. Patrick can craft lyrics from his own experiences while also adding on from an outside perspective, which is then delivered through the sharp and fierce sound of his Rickenbacker 330. His leadership keeps the trio tightly focused and ready to take on their next performance. You can tell that Patrick is chasing the heart of rock and roll with much intensity while maintaining an individual and unique sound. He was born to be on stage.
Kyle is the kind of drummer who makes playing look easy, even when it is absolutely not. He has been drumming since he was seven years old, inspired early on by The Police, and it shows in “All Goes Right” when he goes from a six stroke roll into a paradiddle. His drumming is clean, crisp, and consistent when he plays. With quiet wit, Kyle lets his playing speak louder than words. Anchoring The Silverados with precision and power, Kyle continues to keep everyone locked in and sounding tight.
Maxwell is definitely a creative wildcard. He plays bass, sings backing vocals, and continues to tattoo others on the side. Maxwell’s bassline is smooth, relaxed, and always locked in with Kyle’s drums to keep the beat. Maxwell is the type of guy that makes CBGBs references causally, make a joke about Benny Blanco, then go and wow you on stage.
Soundtrack of Their Souls
To get to know The Silverados a bit more, you should know their musical inspirations and heroes growing up. Patrick’s main inspiration is Paul Weller, “he wrote the bible for me.” Paul Weller is Patrick’s blueprint. His admiration for The Jam’s frontman is shown through his gear, sound, and inspiration behind The Silverados.
For Kyle, it was Stewart Copeland from The Police, “that was like my second grade sound-track, I listened to a lot of The Police.” Maxwell didn’t have as linear an answer as the others, “I got really into British Rock, Rock and Roll like The Clash, The Kinks, The Who and all that. Then you know I kinda went off on like hip hop, reggae, and punk rock. But it's nice to come back and play this kind of music, it feeds the soul.” The Silverados are able to blend their music taste from the past and present into something that is defiantly their own.
Dream Venues and Collabs
“Top 3 people you’d want to collaborate with, dead or alive? Whether that be open for them, make a song with them, etc.”
Kyle, staying loyal to his drumming inspiration, immediately set his answer as The Police. “That’s just my favorite band,” he says. Patrick decided to go more into his writing side. “I’d probably want to write a song with John Lennon.” Maxwell jokes around with the idea of seeing how Benny Blanco would play around with their music. Patrick then chimes in again by saying, It would be really amazing to be produced by Vic Coppersmith-Heaven, God bless his soul. He Produced the Jam through most of their career and really interpreted their raw musical energy into something really pleasant to hear.” He continues on by showing admiration for their current producer, Jack Ross, a prodigal sound engineer currently working at Shangri-La Studio in Malibu, CA.
As for stages they’d like to take on and conquer, many come to mind. Maxwell starts off by dreaming of CBGB. The club was opened from 1973 - 2006 in New York that really birthed a lot of the punk music scene with bands like the Ramones, Blondie, The Misfits, and more. Patrick has a few venues in mind like Royal Albert Hall, Knebworth, Glastonbury, and The Hollywood Bowl. He adds that the big festival fields are a mid term goal. Who knows, in a year's time you’ll likely see The Silverados Á la mode, opening for one of your favorite punk bands on an American tour.
Lyrics or Melody First?
When The Silverados are crafting their songs, there isn’t a scientific process to how they do things. Patrick is the band's primary lyricist saying, “I write the words first some of the time.” Though, sometimes there is a perfect blend of chord progression and lyrics being created at the same time without the members knowing. While Patrick was in England writing, Maxwell was in California messing around with a chord progression. “I was playing the song over and I wasn't crazy about the melody, which is really the most important part of a song to me. Soon after, we were trying to write new words for that progression and I thought ‘Oh my god, I already have them’ and they turned out to glue together really well.” Patrick says. The song came together beautifully from two separate ideas, “it was a perfect marriage of two ideas that were almost there.” Kyle tends to keep his contributions more percussively focused rather than chiming in on the lyrics. He and Maxwell both admit that lyrics aren’t really their thing, “We’re more the silent type,” Maxwell jokes. “We don’t really express ourselves through words exactly.” Kyle agrees, “Yeah, just like, sounds and angrily crashing instruments.” Even if the lyrics and melody begin with Patrick, the end result of the song is shaped by all three.
“If we're gonna walk, talk, and act like the way we want to be, then we believe it will come to us.”
The Silverados aren't just a band hoping things work out. They're building something deliberately, and they know exactly how they want it to sound , feel like, and what they want it to become. The trio brings a level of intensity and clarity that sets them apart from most new acts. There's an undeniable sense of purpose. Every detail matters. Each individual decision feels intentional.
They don’t hide behind gimmicks. They don’t crowd the stage with unnecessary players. “A three-piece is tighter,” says Patrick. “It’s more connected. That big three-piece sound is exactly what we’re going for.” That clarity of vision shows not just in their sound but in their dynamic. Every note, every member, every lyric has weight. Even when talking about their dream collaborations or dream venues, their answers aren’t wishful thinking, they’re informed, intentional, and grounded in musical history. They don’t just want to tour the globe and have a lasting impact—they’re setting that as a marker. With the way that they talk about that goal, and the looks in their eyes, you don’t doubt it for a second.
Their songwriting process is another reflection of that drive: words written while on a trip, chords built while waiting, songs stitched together with care and commitment. There’s a work ethic here that’s rare! A willingness to put in the hours to prove themselves, to rehearse for days until the harmonies are right, and to build from the ground up rather than chase shortcuts.
Above all, The Silverados believe in themselves. You can hear it in their playing and in their banter. That belief isn’t loud or flashy, it’s steady, earned, and completely unshakable. With that combination of vision, dedication, and genuine love for the craft, success doesn’t feel like a matter of if—it feels like a matter of when.
