Title: Silversun Pickups
Post by: Sage 703 on March 05, 2009, 03:28:36 pm: I think they're now better at sounding like vintage Smashing Pumpkins than the Smashing Pumpkins are.

New tune, "Panic Switch," is pretty great:

Post by: eltee on March 06, 2009, 02:22:55 pm: I don't know why, but I didn't expect fans of theirs to be on this board...It's good, don't get me wrong, just surprised. (and I remember thinking the same back when they toured DC)

Wow. That's awfully soon. You'd think someone who knew them really well would have a copy by now...
