I am truly befuddled, shocked, amazed, bewildered, at a loss for words, and dumbstruck to realize that Silversun Pickups might be one of the greatest bands I have ever heard and I just started listening to them this week. It utterly insane that I never listened to them and they were right under my nose. The first I had truly heard from them was Lazy Eye on my Rock Band app. But this was not enough. I loved that song but it still did not motivate me to take a gander into the Silversun Pickups catalog. It was not until I was on a return flight from San Diego after visiting my girlfriend. I was flying Virgin America, and they have the entertainment systems on those flights. I was flipping through some of the stuff they had, videos, movies, games and some other stuff when I stumbled upon Silversun Pickups "Substitution". This was the red pill that led me down the rabbit hole, and led me into the world of Silversun Pickups. I can honestly say that I have not heard a bad song from them. Every song has had its own epicness. From Brians eerie and emotional vocals to Christopher's insane skills on the drums. This band basically has all the pieces that they need. Here is a taste of some of the magic that they have created.
Future Foe Scenarios
Rusted Wheel
Panic Switch
Catch and Release
They remind me a lot a lot of Nirvana in some of their riffs and style. Also though not completely I feel like Brian could be compared to Curt and Christopher could be compared to Dave Grohl.
