“Also known as Chris and Kristen Butler, they work together as husband and wife to create a track that is as

catchy as it is full of vulnerability and angst.”

--Karina Marquez, Imperfect Fifth, July 10, 2019

“...the duo manages to rock out and create a song [‘Give It To Me Straight’] that, while infectious and catchy,

isn’t too polished. With soaring harmonies and big groovy synth, the CITY SILOS seem intent on crafting

arena-ready music.”

“‘Give It to Me Straight…’ sees singer Kristen Butler wield her vocal cords as a set of steel carving knives. Her

tone melts the creamy butter that is guitar wailing against the drums’ own howls and lashes.”

--Jason Scott, B-Sides & Badlands, July 12, 2019

“The alt-rock duo consists of Kristen and Chris Butler and this husband/wife combo is certainly not messing

around with their catchy, pop-infused sound…CITY SILOS’ captivating debut…is its own beautiful concoction

that is instantly familiar but also the band’s own. We think you’re going to dig the tunes…”

--Christopher Gonda, Pure Grain Audio, July 24, 2019

“I love songs that sound like they could be on movie soundtracks…City Silos…isn’t a band where you can

accuse them of phoning it in, or selling out for placement. Because this isn’t one of those tracks [‘Just Like

Her’]. It feels accessible, genuine, and fun. An anthem with attitude.”

--Ryan Getz, Tuned Up, August 7, 2019

“The Husband and Wife duo that make up the Nashville-based band City Silos, has a new album…don’t let the

album’s title fool you. Happy Thoughts has an edge and almost lyrical darkness to it. That is if you can pull

yourself away from Kristen’s intoxicating vocals long enough to focus on the words she is laying down. Once

you get past those, you encounter some serious fuzz. The guitars drive these songs with almost a glossy

metallic sound that is one part raw and another part polished.”

--Tommy Marz, Sound Vapors, August 13, 2019

“This up-tempo track [‘Let You Go’] has a ton of energy to it. The dynamic songwriting feels like it was meant

for a big-time arena. The vocal is somewhere between Reba McEntire and Grace Potter. The powerful sound

feels like a rock pop track that could race up the charts.”
