Every band creates their own sound and their own style. One band that definately has their own sound is Silversun Pickups. They have a hint of a haunted sound to their music and they use distorted guitar sounds. They fall under alternative rock, Indie rock, Dream pop, and Shoegaze.
Silversun Pickups is a Los-Angeles band. They currently have two albums, four EP's, three singles, and six music videos. Their albums are called Carnavas and Swoon. Their most popular song on Carnavas is called Lazy Eye. On Swoon, their most popular song is called, Panic Switch. Personally, Panic Switch is my favorite song by Silversun Pickups. I love the vocals and the guitar, it creates an epic sound that you don't really hear in other artists' music.
Silversun Pickups has four members:
Brian Aubert - guitarist and lead vocals
Nikki Monninger - basssist and vocals
Chris Guanlao - drummer
Joe Lester - keyboard and sound manipulation
They are currently touring. Their tour will end on October 9, 2010 in Austin Texas. I was not fortunate enough to purchase tickets for this tour. Hopefully next time they go on tour I will be able to go see them.
I recommend Silversun Pickups to those who like music by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arcade Fire, Broken Bells, or The Dead Weather.
