Based on what we've heard from fans, imagine the bastard child of Alice In Chains, Living Colour, (black album era) Metallica and Iced Earth. Now imagine that bastard child having a love affair with illegitimate the child of (old school) Metallica, Tool, Dream Theater, Disturbed, and Yngwie Malmsteen. We'd probably be the offspring of an affair had by these two twisted entities...
Now forget every damn word I just said, and decide for yourself who you think we sound like., |

Silver Spade is an original modern rock band based out of Yonkers NY boasting powerful vocals shredding solos, rockin' riffs, and a whole lot of attitude.
Original Bio:
Following a trend is easy especially when you’re a band that’s trying to make a name for yourself. Absorbing elements of everything else around you is natural. But who wants to be a part of the cookie cutter main stream - or worse - the cookie cutter counter culture.
In a scene where all of the conformists and non-conformists are playing the same type of music through virtually the same gear and citing the same influences Silver Spade goes against the grain in a truly unique way. They aren’t racing to be the heaviest nastiest metal around. Nor are they trying to mimic the dark ambience and drop tuned nature of radio rock. What these four guys do is write songs from their own experiences. They write music that is catchy as well as technical and they craft masterful lyrics that are more than fluff and clichés.
Driving the songs with his groove oriented techniques Mike Keeler provides an unshakeable backbone for Silver Spade to build its sound off of. Mike brings dead on accurate timing and a healthy dose of aggression into rehearsal studio, and stage environments.
Complimenting Mike as well as bridging the gap between rhythm and melody is Eric Neuman. Eric’s dedication to pushing the limits of his instrument keeps Silver Spade moving forward. Covering both the roles of traditional bassist and fleshing out parts that would normally be played by a rhythm guitar Eric’s style locks in tightly with Mike's to provide an unbreakable backbone of rhythm and lay down a strong base for the melody to ride over.
Providing heavy chord work and intricate melodies Bobby Yapchanyk’s guitar work runs the gamut from over driven chunking to operatic solos. Having honed his skills first on piano Bob is a master of both chord theory and song structure. Bob’s style and virtuosity on the guitar allow him to convey as much emotion as the vocals. With his foundation set by Mike and Eric Bob’s guitar playing takes on a fluid nature and completes the backdrop for Silver Spade’s music.
At the helm of the band and providing some of the most original vocals around is Rick Yapchanyk. With his brother and two of his closest friends setting the stage Rick pours his spirit out through his voice and completes Silver Spade’s essence. Rick’s vocal styling stands out from the crowd because he’s not afraid to sing. He doesn’t have to hide behind effects and screaming. Rick can convey the raw emotion of the lyrics with a powerful voice and almost unbelievable range.
All of the members of Silver Spade are very well trained as musicians but refuse to succumb to the idea of creating music solely for other musicians to enjoy. They would rather use their skill to create something universal something that everyone can relate to. |
