Silence is Arson is the brainchild of Tamlyn Koga and Caroline Grape. Caroline and Tamlyn met in September of 2007 through a mutual friend. Since they both were very involved in photography, they clicked and became “Picture Taking Buddies/Br00t4l N00dles” [the latter is an inside joke ;D]. After a while of going to shows and taking pictures for local bands, as well as several signed bands who were touring through San Francisco, the two decided that they wanted to do more with those pictures, as well as involve themselves even deeper into the music world. The most obvious choice was to, of course, start a webzine–or magazine on the web. Thus Silence Is Arson was born, and now sports a wide variety of interesting snippets to read and enjoy.
Overall, the aim of Silence Is Arson is to give you a more personal approach to music, borderline casual, and to inspire you to check out new bands and try new genres that might not have been in your taste range before. We hope to do this by exposing you to the local bands, as well as provide reviews for several signed bands from around the world! Several of our staff members are not originally from the area, or at least travel out of the States, and therefore we have the opportunity to bring you fresh new music from several countries around the world!
We hope you enjoy the diversity of our page as well as the vivid photography and reviews page! Feel free to look around! If you have any more questions about the origin of Silence Is Arson or just a general question, feel free to email us at either tamlyn@silenceisarson.com or caroline@silenceisarson.com.
