MY SILENT BRAVERY

My Silent Bravery (MSB) is Matthew Wade. ?Billboard Magazine Discoveries states, "My Silent Bravery plays like a major label signing, from its production savvy, eloquent lyrics, authoritative imaging, polished web site, a dedicated Northeast U.S. fan following (300 shows in three years), merchandising, and most important, a chockablock collection of winning songs. My Silent Bravery is destined to make major noise." Matthew Wade “My Silent Bravery” symbolizes persistence, perseverance and inner strength to overcome obstacles in the face of adversity. It is this type of determination that helped him overcome a sports injury in his youth that led him to pursue his passion in music. He now feels it’s one of his life mission’s to help inspire others to do the same by delivering his positive message to the masses. ??Can't Quit, the new LP was produced by Anthony Resta (Collective Soul, Elton John, Shawn Mullins) and features a track with Grammy nominated recording artist, Matisyahu. Can't Quit was nominated for album of the year at Indie Music Digest and the album’s first single and title track also picked up honorable mention for the songwriting competition, Song of the Year, which receives entries from all over the world. The video for the song Can’t Quit has amassed over 300,000 views on youtube and was recently featured on the AOL music home page. The video covers the heroic struggles of the wounded warrior, youth at the hands of bullies and our fellow American’s coping with the wave of national disasters plaguing the continental US. The second single and animated video for To Give featuring Matisyahu was released in the spring of 2012 and is closing in on a quarter of a million views on YouTube. ?The sophomore release came on the heels of MSB's first album “Are You Prepared” and successful placements on the CW's One Tree Hill, MTV's Real World and True Life, The Oxygen Network's Bad Girls Club, the History Channel's American Pickers and Animal Planet's Last Chance Highway. These placements, along with spins on over a combined 500 AAA, A/C and CMJ reporting college radio stations, a top ten hit on the FMQB A/C chart, have helped the band continue to turn heads, make noise and gain local and national supporters alike. Boston Music critic Bill Copeland predicts “MSB may be Boston's Next Big Thing.” While the UK’s Neil Thomas at Rock and Roll View questions, “Why this artist doesn't have the backing of a major label yet is quite beyond me.” Wade continues to keep busy and preserve on his own terms as a do it yourself (DIY) musician by releasing new music independently and touring to support it. In 2012, MSB shared the stage with John Waite, Rusted Root and supported the northeast leg of Howie Day's spring tour. MSB plans to release a deluxe version of the Cant Quit album in the fall of 2012 with the follow up to Cant Quit slated for release in early 2013. ?Matthew Wade is endorsed by Gibson.
