The seminal single Come Down from SilverHorizon’s eponymous debut LP sounds as though it could have been fired straight from the barrels of The Strokes’ own canon. Formed in 2024 in Worcester County, Massachusetts, the alternative-rock powerhouse already carries the nerve and live-wire looseness of an act sharp enough to tear straight through the static of relentless indie assimilation.
The swanky, garagey, gyrating energy is fed unrelenting momentum through the rhythm section, driven by Connor MacEachern, while Bryce Broberg’s vocals croon style into substance and the guitars are filtered through a nostalgic kaleidoscope of scuzzy effects to achieve authentic indie-garage earworm aesthetics. With drummer Kenny Snider locking the whole thing into motion, Come Down feels restlessly ready for sweaty rooms.
For anyone who felt their growing pains while listening to The Walkmen as they debuted, or anyone who got hooked into indie through the devil-may-care ensnaring force of Fontaines D.C., SilverHorizon is the light at the end of the tunnel of indie landfill. Their influences may include Two Door Cinema Club, Royel Otis, Alexsucks and Arctic Monkeys, but the band already sound like they are chasing their own damage.
They have the attitude, the songwriting chops and that certain je ne sais quoi of charisma that lands in just the right spot between cocky and magnetic. If any indie band has what it takes to break through in 2026, we’d put our money on SilverHorizon.
Come Down is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.
