Tommy Corrigan, the voice behind one of Long Island’s most influential hardcore bands—Silent Majority.

Silent Majority is often credited as a foundational band in the melodic hardcore and post-hardcore scenes, particularly influencing the Long Island hardcore and emo movements that followed.They laid the groundwork for bands like Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, and The Movielife, who all emerged from the same Long Island scene.

Tommy wasn’t just a frontman—he was a storyteller for a generation of kids who felt lost in suburbia, disillusioned with the world around them, and quietly battling their own internal storms. His lyrics, raw and poetic, captured the weight of anxiety, depression, and alienation—long before the conversation around mental health had a mainstream platform.
