Silent Border is a Swedish rock band formed in 2005. Its members are Jonas Nilsson (guitar and lead vocals), Anders Nordström (Bassguitar an vocals), Peter Sjöberg (guitar) and Sebastian Hidén (percussion). The band made their debut at a UKM talent show in Åmål in 2005, describing themselves, in jest, as "like gladporr but rock" (gladporr is a form of lighthearted/comedic pornographic movies). The music has been described as rock with influences from 60's rock music, 70's progressive rock and modern alternative rock.

In July 2007, the band released their first album/demo Hope on their own in a limited pressing, it garnered mostly favourable reviews in Swedish media.^[1]^[2] They are currently planning on recording some of their new material during the summer of 2008.
