Danger Silent (born June 19, 1987) is a solo project of American musician Chris J. Vaughn. Formerly of Autumns Fall, Vaughn brings a metal/hardcore influence to his music, infused with an experimental, indie rock sound. Vaughn plays all instruments (vocals, guitar, piano, bass, drums, and more) himself, as well as all recording, mixing, and mastering at his studio, AVM Recordings. Marc Slenske (drums), Nick Stecki (lead guitar/vocals), and Zeus Ozuna (bass/back-up vocals), have now been introduced as his live band in 2012.

Musical career

Autumns Fall (2004–2007)

Chris Vaughn started Autumns Fall (lead guitar/keys and vocals) as Autumn's End with Nick "Paris Dupont" Engen, later to be filled with Harrison Corupe (frontman/screams), Jesse Zinga (lead guitar), Eric VanAcker of The Rendering (drums), and Corey Sims of The VeraGroove (bass). The band played with such acts as From First To Last, Showbread, He Is Legend, A Skylit Drive, The Word Alive, Despised Icon, Shiny Toy Guns, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, and more! They acquired national buzz and attention from Columbia Records, but shortly after broke up due to musical differences after changing their name to A Suicide Blonde and The Raven.

Danger Silent (2008–present)

Danger Silent is Vaughn's newest solo project that he started with Nick Stecki (former member and audio engineer of AVM Recordings). The band brings almost any style of music in existence to the table (rock, blues, hip-hop, techno, and more). Having a hard background influence, they still maintain a radio-friendly sound that most fans love! Tyler "Telle" Smith of The Word Alive is featured on Chris's newest album, as well as Röbby Creasey of Farewell, My Love (Band), Jesse Lehner of Cold Blooded Theory, Kiefer Ireland of The Secrets We Keep, Harrison Corupe of Autumns Fall, Nick Stecki of Known Enemies, Marissa Murphy and more. Chris has also started up a side-project with Telle Smith that can be found on YouTube.
