godheadSilo is a noise rock duo formed in Fargo, North Dakota but based itself in Olympia, Washington. The duo comprised bassist Mike Kunka and drummer Dan Haugh, who had grown up together in Fargo.

They were known for their loud "wall of sound" live performances, which were full of raging drums, screaming and a gigantic heavy bass sound. Mike employed many effects pedals and a large wall of amps to create his thunderous sound. The groups sound is considered to be damaging, for both members of the band experience discomfort from the low bass tone of their music.

godheadSilo originally started in 1991 as a three-piece, with Phil Leitch playing guitar. Leitch left the band after their first show at Fargo's Moose Lodge. From then on, the band recorded and performed as a two-piece. Their debut was the their contribution to the Moo Bob Records compilation album Nodak: Distorted Hallucinations with the track "Pull" from 1992.

The group relocated to Olympia, Washington and were signed to local indie label Kill Rock Stars. They recorded and released their debut The Scientific Supercake L.P. in 1994 for Kill Rock Stars. The album is notable for its production; When played with the bass settings set to maximum, the album can cause damage to speakers and stereo systems. After going through with a five-week long tour with Sebadoh, the group were signed to Sub Pop, who subsequently released their next two full-lengths Skyward in Triumph in 1996 and Share the Fantasy in 1998. Although the band has been on hiatus since the release of Share the Fantasy in 1998, Mike and Dan joined forces with Murder City Devils vocalist Spencer Moody in a band called Smoke and Smoke, releasing the album Love Suffers Long in 2004.
