Rat Silo is a Canadian Alternative rock group based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada founded by James Newton, the former lead vocalist and guitarist of Canadian alternative rock band Sons of Freedom. Rat Silo makes music for desperate times. Setting up tight, bottom-heavy grooves and mixing in samples for added texture makes a juicy base for the singer's voice. Rat Silo uses machines but, the machines sync to the band, so, the tempos change during songs more organically. Lyrics are mostly from the urban angst / post-apocalypse / blind-rage bucket.
