The Kilans

Emerging from the Salt Lake City music scene, The Kilans are an indie rock band known for their raw sound and intense live shows. Formed in 2023, the band features Jack Ongman on vocals and rhythm guitar, Jacob Shultz on lead guitar, Cooper Brezoff on bass, and David Wiseman on drums. It all started when Jack and Jacob met while skateboarding in college and began jamming together. They soon brought in David and Cooper, and everything clicked.

Their debut single, “Curly,” dropped just five months after they formed and made waves in Salt Lake City. However, it was their second release, “Why is it Light Out?,” with its introspective lyrics and dynamic instrumentation, that really built their loyal following and got them featured on numerous Spotify playlists. Since then, The Kilans have been recording and playing shows, including gigs in Los Angeles, continually pushing the boundaries of indie rock with their blend of modern and classic influences.

Eric Silverman conjures high desert spirits on latest LP. Stay In It feels equally at home in 2023 as it might in 1972, evidenced by nods to After The Gold Rush-era Neil Young, Jonathan Wilson, and The War on Drugs. The singer-songwriter trucked Jerry Garcia’s old console to the desert to embrace the analog. The album takes a journey, ranging from canyon sounds of Topanga to cosmic freakouts featuring Adam Macdougall (Black Crowes, Circles Around The Sun), Stay In It is a natural evolution of Silverman’s 2019 solo debut EP, Rookie, with an expanded sonic palette and the most earnest songwriting from Silverman to date. Stay In It will be released May 12th 2023 on Curation Records.
