Silentmob. An young Indie-rock band based in England's south-west. The band's origins began in 2005 with Ned Partridge (bass guitar), Robbie Carmen (lead guitar) Alex Batchelor (drums) and a series of short term vocalists and front men. They were initially known collectively as "Mr kipling and the Cupcakes". During early 2008 Robbie Carmen introduced Joe Brandon (vocals and rythem guitar), with whom he had busked and performed acoustic sets to the other two muscicians. The new quartet immediately began work on writing and performing their own material. On the 12th April 2008 the band recorded live their first CD "Happy Accidents" at Bunker Studios, Dunkeswell, Devon. This was a mixture of covers and their own material, one of the tracks being titled "Silent mob" from which they took the current band name. As the band's success continued throughout 2008 and into 2009, the use of covers in their live sets diminished rapidly, being replaced by their own distinctive music and lyrics. A second studio based CD is currently being planed containing all their new material.
