New York Hard Rock Band Redefines "Independent Artist" in New Release November 02, 2006 - YONKERS, N.Y. – On Friday, November 10, 2006, Silver Spade, an unsigned hard rock band from Yonkers, New York, will release their independently produced 6 song EP entitled Slip Away. While most independent artists pay for studio time and engineers to record, mix, and master their albums, Silver Spade took a much different approach. “With the exception of mass duplication, we've done it all with this EP,” says guitarist Bob Yapchanyk. “We didn't just show up at a studio and play through our songs. We've done a lot more than that – and a lot more than we had anticipated.” Due to their limited budget and perfectionist inclinations, the four members of Silver Spade hunkered down in the home studio of Bob Yapchanyk and vocalist Rick Yapchanyk, and went to work. After nine months of recording, editing, mixing, mastering, and designing cover artwork, the band came out with a professional quality EP ready for duplication. So far fans’ reactions to the quality of Slip Away have been nothing but positive. “You would never believe that this was a self-recorded CD,” said John Mirabile, who heard previews of the EP. “It sounds like any other professional CD I listen to.” Some local bands, like Plan of Attack and Fumehead, liked the sound quality so much that they approached Silver Spade to find out where they recorded. Perhaps better than the quality is the content of Slip Away, which offers six heavy, yet melodic rock songs about living with and not giving into the pressures of society. “Every time I hear any of these songs, they become embedded in my head,” said Jeri Klein, one of the many fans who find themselves humming Silver Spade songs day after day. “We’re very excited about this release,” says bassist Eric Neuman, “and we're optimistic that it will introduce the world to a new sound in hard rock.” Slip Away will be available for purchase on the band’s website, http://www.silverspademusic.com, for $6.98 (shipping included).
