Considerate Noise is a band born out of the desire to create music that both soothes the soul and provokes thought. The quartet met in a music theory class at the University of Bristol, where they discovered their shared passion for a fusion of alternative rock and atmospheric soundscapes. Inspired by the raw emotion of Radiohead and the intricate sound arrangements of Sigur Rós, lead singer and guitarist Ben Hollis, drummer Matty Pritchard, bassist Dominic “Dom” Lowe, and keyboardist Sarah Mills formed Considerate Noise in 2017. The band quickly gained popularity in the local scene for their captivating performances and unique songwriting, filling the room with a respectful clatter that touches the heart and challenges the mind.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Strolling through the [D] twilight, [Em] seeking what’s not [C] there
[G] Painted faces [D] whispering, [Em] secrets in the [C] air
[G] A melody of [D] heartache, [Em] sings in every [C] line
[G] Lost within the [D] echo, [Em] of silence so [C] divine
(Chorus)
[G] Echoes in [D] silence, [Em] memory’s gentle [C] noise
[G] Speaking in [D] rhythms, [Em] of love’s subtle [C] voice
[G] Echoes in [D] silence, [Em] in stories we [C] convey
[G] The symphony [D] of a lifetime, [Em] in silence we [C] play
(Verse 2)
[G] Shadows casting [D] patterns, [Em] on walls of our [C] past
[G] Moments fleeting [D] quickly, [Em] yet memories will [C] last
[G] An orchestra of [D] echoes, [Em] in the quiet we [C] find
[G] The symphony of [D] silence, [Em] composed by [C] time
(Chorus)
[G] Echoes in [D] silence, [Em] memory’s gentle [C] noise
[G] Speaking in [D] rhythms, [Em] of love’s subtle [C] voice
[G] Echoes in [D] silence, [Em] in stories we [C] convey
[G] The symphony [D] of a lifetime, [Em] in silence we [C] play

Their music resonates with me on a deep emotional level, and their lyrics often seem to express what I’m feeling when words fail me. Their unique blend of alternative and experimental rock is a breath of fresh air in an industry that often feels repetitive.
