NORTHSTAR

Continuing their rich vein of form after 30 years away, album no. 5, NORTHSTAR, shows the way forward. Belfast’s Silent Running folded for a full 30 years after releasing their third album in 1989. One of Ireland’s biggest musical exports of the 1980s, the band eventually burned out. They had headlined numerous nights at London’s legendary Marquee Club and toured extensively across Europe and the USA with major artists including Simple Minds, Robert Palmer, Talk Talk, and Stevie Van Zandt. The band also appeared on the iconic TV music show The Tube. In 2019, they reunited for the fun of it - a process that led to live dates and the release of Follow the Light. Now, Silent Running return with NORTHSTAR, their fifth studio album, released on CD and digital formats through Door Records. The first single, Hit and Run, was released on 15 August 2025.
