Silversun Pickups












Ok, so lately there's been a wave of bands coming out influenced by the 80's. So why not bring in a band influenced by the 90's! Silversun Pickups is a band that's brought back some of the best sounds present during the mid to late 90's on their album Carnavas. For example, the track "Lazy Eye" sounds like "1979" by Smashing Pumpkins and "Cannonball" by The Breeders meshed together. At first listen, you may be fooled thinking that the lead singer is a girl. Actually, it's a guy named Brian Aubert who does a pretty damn good job carrying the album's polished grunge/alternative sound. It was hard to pick a favorite song, as there were a few I liked equally. If I did pick one, it would have to be either Lazy Eye, Future Foe Scenarios, or Waste It On. With albums like Carnavas and the new Smashing Pumpkins album out this month, could we be seeing a return to a 90's influenced rock sound? Keep your ears tuned in.
