The Silvers Recruit Producer Stuart Epps For New Single "Day By Day"
Three Musicians Spread From Tucson to the Bay Area, United on One Melodic Single
Day By Day, the new single from The Silvers, runs on melody-first country rock and soft rock. It is the sound that defined the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Producer Stuart Epps, whose credits include Led Zeppelin, Oasis, and Robbie Williams, shaped the record. The band is a trio. Dain, Carl, and Mick write together across the miles from Tucson to the San Francisco Bay Area.

“Day By Day” Pairs The Silvers With Stuart Epps, a Producer Behind Oasis and Led Zeppelin Records
The first thing to notice is the production credit. Stuart Epps has spent decades in British studios. His client list runs from Led Zeppelin and Oasis to Robbie Williams. So handing those ears to a US country rock band is a deliberate choice. It signals what The Silvers are after. They want the warmth and finish of records made when a strong tune carried the song.
That pairing also shapes how to hear Day By Day. This is a single built around melody and lyric, not studio effects. Epps has favoured that priority across his catalogue. The band calls back to the 60s, 70s, and 80s. In fact, a producer who worked through those decades brings a real reference point. He knows the textures the trio wants, because he helped commit them to tape the first time.
“We poured our hearts into ‘Day By Day,’ aiming to capture the essence of the music that inspired us from the 60s, 70s, and 80s,” said Mick of The Silvers. “Working with Stuart Epps was an incredible experience, and his expertise truly helped us bring this vision to life. We believe fans of authentic Country Rock and Soft Rock will find something special in this song.”
Day By Day Roots The Silvers in Country Rock and Soft Rock of the 60s, 70s, and 80s
The Silvers call themselves a power pop and rock band. Day By Day sits where those labels meet country rock and soft rock. It is a lane with a long memory. The close-harmony country rock of the Eagles leaned on stacked vocals and plain-spoken writing. The Silvers put those same two things first. The Byrds folded a Rickenbacker jangle into rock in the late 60s, and they helped invent country rock outright. That sits in the same family tree. So does the melodic, hook-led rock that Tom Petty carried for decades.
Of course, naming those reference points is not nostalgia for its own sake. The Silvers want to reach both long-time listeners and newcomers. A classic framework gives them a wide door. Day By Day asks to be judged on song-craft, not novelty. The melody and the lyrical depth are what the trio keeps returning to.
A Trio Scattered From Tucson to the San Francisco Bay Area, Cohesive in Sound
The other story here is logistics. The Silvers do not share a rehearsal room down the street. The line-up runs from Tucson to the San Francisco Bay Area. Dain Bedford-Pugh plays guitar and sings. Carl Upthegrove handles drums and percussion. Mick Orton plays bass. They have made the distance a normal part of how they work. So Day By Day still sounds like one band with one idea, not three people in three cities.
That cohesion matters for a group leaning on a vintage sound. Classic country rock and soft rock were genres of tight ensembles and careful arrangements. A scattered line-up could easily lose that focus. The band keeps the songs centred on melody. Then a producer like Stuart Epps shapes the final mix. That is how they hold the thread together from one time zone to the next.
Who Day By Day Is For and Where Power Pop and Soft Rock Fans Can Stream It
Do you keep the Eagles, Tom Petty, or the softer end of 70s rock radio in rotation? Then Day By Day is aimed at you. It is a single for listeners who value a clear melody and a written lyric. It is also for newer fans tracing where the power pop and classic-rock thread runs today. The release reaches audiences across the US, UK, and Canada. In short, the pitch from The Silvers is simple: songs first, fashion second.
RockCharts.News’s curator team: “What earns Day By Day a place on our radar is restraint. The Silvers trust the melody. They let Stuart Epps’s production stay out of the way. That discipline is what classic country rock needs to reach modern ears.”
