about

Silver Abuse was one of the original punk bands in Chicago, forming in 1977. There were various versions of Silver Abuse, but the original version starred lifetime member Bill Meehan, along with Santiago Durango and Camilo Gonzalez, early members of Naked Raygun. Silver Abuse was featured prominently in the documentary “You Weren’t There” which tells the story of Chicago punk and hardcore from ’77 to ’84. From Miles Raymer’s review in the Chicago Reader-”In the late 70s just a few bands made up the scene, but among them were Silver Abuse, who wore tinfoil and played aggressively dissonant guitar skree… “Silver Abuse, I have some demos that they did in like ’82 that sound completely relevant today,” Losurdo says. “It’s a little more no wave, and they have girl vocals and really off-kilter rhythms and sax.” —evensi

about

Silver Abuse Chicago, Illinois

Silver Abuse started before you were born. They were showered with beer and spit at their first show. Now the world has caught up with their odd and angular musings and are starting to pay respect. Fans say they sound like nobody else. In a good way.
