Cilver

Cilver is a hard rock combo from New York with a dark-hued yet defiant sound. Singer Uliana Preotu and guitarist Leon Lyazidi — both formerly of the Universal-signed act MeTalkPretty — started Cilver in late 2013, working with Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal (Guns N' Roses) on the band's debut single, "In My Head." By early 2014, they had released an EP of the same name and landed a spot on Revolver magazine's Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock Tour alongside bands like Sick Puppies, Lacuna Coil, and Eyes Set to Kill. Both first-generation immigrants, Preotu and Lyazidi bring a unique and inspiring voice to Cilver's brand of heavy rock, and by 2015 they'd landed a deal with Entertainment One Media. The lead single from their full-length debut, "I'm America," arrived in late 2015, with the album expected in early 2016.
