The Silver Factory

The Silver Factory is a band born out of a passion for indie pop and sixties music. Formed in 2008 by Fran Feely, the band draws inspiration from iconic groups like The Stone Roses, The Field Mice, The Ronettes, and The Velvet Underground. Their sound combines jangly pop melodies reminiscent of the C-86 movement with the timeless elegance of sixties bands. The lineup includes Fran Feely, along with former members such as Marc Johnston on vocals and Jacob Parker on lead guitar, among others. Their music often evokes nostalgia with tracks like "The Sun Shines Over You," which echoes the brightness of bands like The Hollies and The Monkees.

The band's name pays homage to Andy Warhol's studio, also known as the Silver Factory, reflecting a fascination with creative hubs where art and music converge. This influence can be seen in their musical style, which blends nostalgic sounds with modern melodic sensibilities. Their recent releases showcase a continued commitment to crafting engaging, nostalgic pop music. With songs like "SX" and "If Words Could Kill," The Silver Factory continues to explore its musical heritage while offering fresh takes on indie pop.
