Silversun Pickups

I think they're now better at sounding like vintage Smashing Pumpkins than the Smashing Pumpkins are.

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

  i like this band, and i think they will be around for a while, and eventually take that Pumpkins sound and make it into something more original, and yes, probably better.

I like "Panic Switch" as well, hope this means the album is on the same level

I hope they do a local gig soon, just so we can get an appearance by The Director.

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)

From their site:

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

unless, of course, that person was talking shit and doesn't actually have any pull.  talking the talk, sure; but walking the walk?  not so much.
