Powerful, Smooth, Catchy, Loud!, and Riding on the wavelength of sound itself, all of these have been said about The Silver Tear Conspiracy. The "Conspiracy" was formed in the summer of 2007 to lay out the ideas of four very unique individuals with a sound that reflects the diversity of their background. T.J. Hopkins (26) the founder and bass player/lead singer has came from jazz, alt. rock and the 60's school of rock. His voice is as high as an angels and rumbles along with his trademark droned bass riffs combine to make music of a different and pleasing caliber. Writing with the listener in mind he places well thought riddles in his lyrics to make the listener believe that the story is told from their view but its all really his. Quick to wit and loud to talk always ready for the show to be the best he can make it. Not a mover but a shaker on stage and he will push the band forward to the front while he hides behind the defenses of their jumping and out right holy rolling jitters to punch the listeners ears right in the face. Corey Mayes (22) lead guitar, for Corey you may had well call him the Quaker of rock and roll, when he plays his rough, edgy, lighting like leads he shakes himself and the earth under his feet. A child of seventies super rock i.e. Led Zepplin and Queen he brings the big show to the sideshow. Solid as steel and gentle as the summer breeze his style is the definition of the "Conspiracy's" style pushing the rythym section out of his way to paint his picture of rock in his way. Jeremy Fishburn (27) drums, Rumble, Shake, and dance to it. Jeremy is the foundation of the house that The Silver Tear Conspiracy built. Soft to the touch, and unique to his own, Jeremy has crafted his druming to suit the fun park ride of the "Silver Tears" sound.
