Get ready to dive into the raw, high energy punk rock of The Silent Treatment. It’s Minneapolis rock and roll at its finest writing music that draws from the seedy underbelly. And with a band full of scene vets that sustain full-throttle energy for some complicated fun, it’s not to be missed. After playing numerous local venues and festivals, they are taking their recklessly fun live show regionally and nationally.
The band recently released their first full-length album, Suplex in 10! (2024). Recorded at The Terrarium Studio, it features unapologetic provocative lyrics with a stripped-down sound and an intensity as subtle as a car crash.
The group has shared stages with Agent Orange, Henry Cluney of Stiff Little Fingers, International punk supergroup Ultrabomb (Greg Norton -Hüsker Dü, Finny McConnell -The Mahones, and Jamie Oliver -UK Subs), Dion Lunadon of The D4, The dB’s, Venus DeMars and All the Pretty Horses, and many more. They receive regular airplay on The Current 89.3 FM, KFAI 90.3 FM, KVSC 88.1 FM, and WITR 89.7 FM and have been featured on Racket's "10 Best Songs of 2024," with their track, "Hulk Hogan is a Dick" as well as being featured on The Current’s Scouting Report.
"Your new favorite punk band might not be a bunch of snotty kids, but rather this quartet of Minnesota scene vets and parents who are royally p.o.'d at the world we're leaving those kids. Frontwoman Claire Luger - an educator and City Council member by day - channels Joe Strummer and Kathleen Hanna by night with ace backers Keely Lane (Trailer Trash), Rob Sells (Low Rats) and Dave Randall (Kinda Kinky), smartly smarmy and blistering boisterous debut album."
Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune
"On this terrific garage-punk quartet’s new album, Suplex in 10!, singer Claire Luger is all snarl and attitude, takes on white supremacists, exurban moms, and other such disreputable types with blunt aplomb."
Keith Harris, Racket
"This Minneapolis punk band’s music will collide into your face with a wall of sound... and return with their first full length that packs a wallop. Their first single “Cornerstone” is short and sweet and reminds you what it’s like to be in the mosh pit after a couple of drinks."
