How Sons of Silver Built Runaway Emotions | The Sharp Notes Interview

The Sharp Notes with Evan Toth

Sons of Silver’s latest release, Runaway Emotions, reflects a band committed to creative collaboration and thematic depth. Fronted by lead vocalist and songwriter Pete Argyropoulos, the group includes seasoned musicians each bringing years of experience across different corners of the rock world. The album builds on their past work with a focus on strong ensemble playing and lyrical content that draws from both personal and social undercurrents.

In this interview, bassist Adam Kury (the current bass player with Candlebox) and drummer Marc Slutsky (Adam Ant's touring drummer) share their perspectives on the album’s development and the evolving identity of the band. They discuss their writing process, how the group navigates creative decisions, and what keeps the dynamic productive as they continue to record and release new material. The conversation offers a glimpse into how veteran musicians approach collaboration with both structure and flexibility.

While Pete provides the core lyrical vision, the strength of Sons of Silver lies in their ability to operate as a unit—balancing individual voices with a shared musical goal. Runaway Emotions captures that ongoing exchange, translating it into a sound shaped by experience, mutual respect, and an interest in staying true to each band member's artistic vision.
