Silent Runners is a post-punk band from Amsterdam, Netherlands, weaving dark synths, pulsing basslines, and reverb-soaked vocals into an electrifying mix of nostalgia and modern edge. Since bursting onto the scene in 2015, the five-piece has carved out a reputation for intense, immersive live shows—think moody atmospheres, relentless energy, and a touch of krautrock-inspired drive. Their sound echoes the best of 80s post-punk and dark wave but with a fresh, contemporary twist.

From underground clubs to festival stages, Silent Runners have taken their hypnotic sound across Europe, playing renowned venues like Paradiso and Melkweg, and festivals such as Wave Gotik Treffen and Entremuralhas. With a self-titled EP (2015), the brooding The Directory (2017), and the cinematic Statues & Ornaments (2022) under their belt, they continue to push the boundaries of their genre. Their ability to fuse atmospheric synths with driving rhythms continues to earn them praise and a devoted following worldwide.
