Members Of R.E.M., Black Crowes, And Screaming Trees Form New Supergroup Silverlites

A new supergroup called Silverlites has been formed by R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, the Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson, Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin, and singer Joseph Arthur. The band just shared their lead single, “Don’t Go, Don’t Stay,” ahead of the upcoming release of their self-titled debut album on November 15th via Sunyata Records. Silverlites’ 12-track record was engineered by Seattle studio mastermind Jack Endino and mixed by Daniel Sanint at Flux Studios in New York City. Martin introduced the band with an Instagram post, writing, “Hi everyone, I’d like to announce a new recording project called “Silverlites,” which I recorded and produced during the pandemic and is soon to be released. It started in a Nashville hotel room in 2019, where I recorded the initial acoustic guitar tracks. We hope you like the songs, as we spent the pandemic years doing various recording and mixing sessions.  It’s old school songwriting, just like us.” (Consequence of Sound)
