Silver er et norsk glam-punk-rockeband. Bandet ble dannet i Flekkefjord i 1996, og debuterte i 2000 med Billboard Blackout EP. De var et av vinnerbandene under Zoom 2000 og ble sendt på den påfølgende Zoom-turneen i Norge, England og Skottland våren 2001. I 2001 slapp de Riot 1-2-3 EP på Virgin. Neste utgivelse ble albumet White Diary, etterfulgt av singlene «Angels Calling», «The Sin Fix Journal» og «Funeral Class one». «Angels Calling» ble en hit og ble stadig spilt på radio og TV, likevel har låten aldri helt blitt godtatt av «hardcore» Silver-fans. Etter White Diary sluttet Emil Nikolaisen som trommeslager, og ble erstattet av Kim Akerholdt, som senere forlot bandet og ble erstattet av Jonas Thire fra Amulet.
I løpet av perioden 2001-2006 spilte Silver rundt 220 konserter i inn- og utland (Tyskland, England, Japan, Italia, Østerrike, Finland, USA, Sverige, Danmark, Nederland, Slovenia, Skottland). Blant disse utenlandsopptredenene var en spillejobb på Roskilde i 2004 og opptreden på italiensk TV. I Norge har bandet blant annet spilt konserter i Harstad, Kristiansand, Rockefeller i Oslo og på Meieriet i Sogndal. Bandet vant årets Alarmpris under Alarmprisen 2004.

[5] A collaboration of three Raleigh musicians, beginning in the fall of 2008. Patrick Downing, Brent and John were all born and raised in the fine state of North Carolina and that southern influence carries through in much of the songwriting. Heavily affected by a British rock/pop sound, Silver has carefully crafted melodies that are both unique all the while holding firmly to their region and place.
Their début EP, "+/-" (Feb 2009), finds a young band in their mid twenties trying to balance honest melodies about the good and the bad, the darkness and the light. +/- gently nods to bands such as Radiohead, Kings of Leon, U2 and Muse with delayed guitars, swirling synthesizers and organs and steady pounding rhythms. A firmly established power trio, Silver is garnering attention and support throughout the southeast.
Their latest release is EP "Feeling Of Falling" (Oct 2011).
