A recent incident involving Garrett Russell, the lead singer of California-based metalcore band Silent Planet, caused quite a stir in a residential neighborhood. While Russell was engaged in a recording session, neighbors, alarmed by the powerful vocals emanating from the house, called the police.
Amid the recording of what seemed to be the final song of the day, a police officer unexpectedly appeared at the door. In a video shared by Russell, the officer expressed his confusion upon hearing the intense vocals, indicating that it was not a typical occurrence in the neighborhood.
Russell and his colleague clarified to the officer that they were simply recording vocals and were about to conclude their session. Fortunately, the situation ended amicably, with the officer acknowledging the misunderstanding and leaving without further issue.
Reflecting on the incident, Russell humorously contrasted it with a previous encounter with law enforcement, recalling a more tense situation in Detroit. He expressed gratitude that the recent interaction with the police was far less intimidating.
This lighthearted incident comes on the heels of Silent Planet’s recent performances supporting Dayseeker. The band is gearing up for their upcoming appearance at the final Furnace Fest in Birmingham, Alabama on Oct. 4.
