I haven’t been this obsessed about an album probably since Offspring’s Ignition in 1992. I have been spinning Swoon on a regular basis for a month and have loved it more and more with each consecutive listen. Because of that I also keep my ear to the ground for any sessions that they might be [...]

As every musician and music lover will agree, the dreaded Sophomore Slump is something to be feared by all. No one is exempt and it can strike without notice or fore warning. Luckily Silversun Pickups were able to dodge this dream killer on their newly released Swoon that hits music stores today via Dangerbird Records. [...]

To wet your whistle for one more week Silversun Pickups have released the video for the first single, “Panic Switch”, off the new album Swoon. Good video but an even better single. Warning: If you have epilepsy don’t watch this video.
