of the following musicians:
Cram (vocals),
Willem (bass, guitar, backing vocals)
Kristo R (drums) and
Kristo K (guitar, keyboards and programming).
+ The band was first introduced to a
wider audience in the summer of 1995 at the Rock Summer festival,
Estonia, where they headlined the B-stage.
The crowd gave the band a spectacular welcome and from then on NO-BIG-SILENCE
has successfully performed at larger festivals and smaller clubs in
Estonia, the Baltic States, Russia and Scandinavia. NO-BIG-SILENCE
is valued as an live-act with an impressive show, esteemed by such
worldclass rock bands as Metallica, Iron Maiden, Rammstein, HIM, Motörhead,
Waltari etc. NO-BIG-SILENCE was chosen to be their support act from
a selection of bands. The chariman of the concert agency BDG Peeter
Rebane, the local promoter for Metallica, Iron Maiden and Rammstein
comments: "In our opinion NO-BIG-SILENCE is the most professional
industrial band in the Baltics. Besides, they are a very good live-act."

+ The music of NO-BIG-SILENCE is loaded
with positive energy that has an ironical side to it. "NO- BIG-SILENCE,
unlike most of the hard rock bands that
get their inspiration from mysticism, concentrates on expressing the
twists and turns of human psychology in the language of popmusic.
It is a great
achievement in itself - to sound tough and delicate at the same time,"
rates Marko Mägi from Eesti Express weekly. The Finnish netport
Sonera Plaza finds
traces of Depeche Mode, Rammstein, Waltari and Ministry in the tough
and delicate soundscape of NO-BIG-SILENCE. //
+ The first album "99" of NO-BIG-SILENCE
was finished in the spring of 1996. The next release "Succsessful,
Bitch and Beautiful" (NBS Recordings, 2000) is already the album
of current hitsongs such as "On The Hunt" and "Vamp-O-Rama".
In 2001 the album is sold in Scandinavia, England, Germany, Italy
and other European countries through the Finnish label Cyberware Production.
The homepage of Cyberware states that the album of NO-BIG-SILENCE
is a magnificent masterpiece and regards it as one of the label's
strongest releases today. According to Cyberware the bonusvideo "Star
DeLuxe" on the
western version of the album gives a good overview of the band's glamorous
live-show and enthusiastic fanbase. The Scandinavian music magazine
Prospective Magazine thinks that "Successful, Bitch and Beautiful"
is a must to listen to. The review in the same magazines gives NO-BIG-SILENCE
8 out of 10 points. Johan Carlsson, a reviewer for the Swedish Release
Magazine distinguishes the even and uniform quality of the album.
"Metal riffs
melded with electronic sounds on top of rock song structures make
an interesting mixture, and the vocals fit perfectly." Positively
surprised, he continues:"It is nice to see an Estonian band,
but don't buy it because of that. Buy it because it is good."
