B-Side Guys

There’s an art to reimagining a song that’s deeply embedded in the cultural memory. On “Save Tonight,” Silos transforms Eagle-Eye Cherry’s acoustic folk-pop staple into a full-throttle rock statement, proving that familiar melodies can find new life through distortion and drive.

The cover maintains the original’s pre-dawn urgency while replacing its coffee-house intimacy with arena-ready power. Recorded at West Valley Recording Studios with Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Motörhead) handling vocal production, frontman Ray Garrison’s intense delivery pushes the narrative from quiet desperation into raw conviction. The result feels less like a last-call whisper and more like a declarative shout across city rooftops.

Engineer Mike Plotnikoff captures the band at full force, balancing muscular guitar work with dynamic shifts that honor the source material’s emotional core. Where Cherry’s original found power in restraint, Silos discovers new dimensions through amplification, turning each chorus into a cathartic release that feels earned rather than imposed.

As a preview of their upcoming album APOCALIPS (due February 21 via Judge & Jury Records), this cover suggests a band that understands how to honor their influences while asserting their own identity. The chemistry that allowed Silos to write an album’s worth of material in three months shines through in their cohesive reimagining of this 1997 classic.

This performance, captured in their new music video, demonstrates why label co-owner Neil Sanderson (of Three Days Grace) saw potential in the project. Between Garrison’s commanding vocals and the band’s sharp instrumental work, Silos has managed that rare feat – creating a cover that stands on its own while illuminating new aspects of a song we thought we knew by heart.
