talk about a band with some hype. Silversun Pickups are the newest faces in rock music. On tour now with snow patrol and Ok go but who really cares about those two bands. Silversun Pickups got huge really quick from super smart marketing like endcaps at target to grassroot flyers all over LA. heres what rolling stone had to say.
taken from rolling stone magazine.
On their full-length debut, Silversun Pickups, a quartet from L.A.'s trendy Silver Lake neighborhood, show all that's possible when the California sun shines on indie-rock shoegazers. After the fuzzy, Pixies-ish dreamscape of the opener, "Melatonin," things take off with "Well Thought Out Twinkles," a surge of guitar squalls and male-female vocals that sounds like what might have happened if the Smashing Pumpkins had driven their ice cream cart out West. The Pickups' grandiose rock owes a great debt to its Chicago forebears "Waste It On" rips the "Rhinoceros" bass line, and "Lazy Eye," in particular, could be an outtake from Siamese Dream but the L.A. kids seem to be having fun in a way that Billy Corgan and company rarely could.
