The silent samurais are an American band who started in East Texas, is a dynamic duo who had wanted to perform for the world since they were age of seven, the duo consists of two members James Adams and Matthew Collins who studied music during university and worked as barristers until they had enough money to buy music supplies for their career. The duo later on started to perform on the streets and at home to gain the attention of people passing by.

From the age of 7, the duo wanted to play music for the world but when their parents found out they were disappointed as they were poor and couldn’t afford any of the equipment would punish them for having such high hopes without any chance of completing them. During school the teachers would call them up to the front of the class to be humiliated for not wanting an actual Job, When in University they studied music to pursue their dreams of being a musical duo. All the abuse they had been exposed to as children lead them to want to make music protesting against violence.

The musical styles the duo use are rap, Rock, and Pop and some of their biggest influences are Ariana Grande, BTS, and Dua Lipa because of how they can change the pitch and tones of their voices to make something serious sound catchy and fun to listen to. The Duo also appreciates how BTS can work together without arguing and can come up with ideas as a group, this encourage one of their songs a critical error, a song about how much of an error it is to not support others and stick together because you will probably need them later on.

Whilst being abused as children they had thought of the idea of protesting against the evilness of violence, when the duo were working as barrister in pubs they had seen many fights occurring they had seen the looks on the kids faces and remembered how scared they were when they were being abused which ended up leading them to protest in the 2020 May violence protests, this gave them hope and feeling of accomplishment for being able to stop violence and save people from being hurt.

The Silent Samurai’s songs are mostly upbeat rock but have slight tones of pop and rap involved for example the album A Dark Defiance with the songs A Red World, An Endless Pit, and A critical Error which showcase how dark violence is and how many people are defiant when asked to stop.
