Silversun Pickups - Panic Switch [mp3, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!]
this song has been mocking me for forever. it comes on almost EVERY time I am driving with the radio on and I am insanely in love with it.
for the longest time, I tried to convince myself it was Billy Corgan singing--but I knew in my bones that it wasn't. I always forget to look it up, but today, the nice man deejaying 92.3 said it was SILVERSUN PICKUPS and I just got my hands on it. the dj also mentioned that the band has been nominated for a Grammy--best new artist.
as for the song: it sounds so much like Smashing Pumpkins, but with more glitz, if that makes any sense. it's shiny. it makes me dizzy. it gets me pumped.
I'm gonna give the whole album a listen, that might have been an overlooked one this year...
...but the year isn't over yet!
PS don't get confused. the band has a chick, but it's a boy singing. yeah.

This music video makes me want to vomit. Too much for me. Like the song though.
Did you know at the Spaceland show, the first thing Jules said was, "hi, we're Silversun Pickups"? heh hehhh
I love this song! Thanks for the
mp3! One of the few good songs my local radio station plays! The alternative station in Houston mostly plays louder metal and shitty punk "alternative". :(
I won't watch the video then.
haha that rings a bell. but what did he mean? are they popular or something?
Silversun Pickups are from Silverlake, which is where Spaceland is. Silversun Pickups got there name from a liquor store down the street called Silversun Liquors, where they used to "pick stuff up". Julian was also living in the Silverlake area while in L.A.
Silversun Pickups are very popular, and Panic Switch is from their 3rd album. I was really surprised to see them nominated for best "New" artist since they have been around for a few years.
PS Silversun Pickups are opening for Muse on their upcoming North American tour.
Thanks for the info, Shane. I wish I lived in CA so I could know all these things and go to alllll of Julian's shows and stuff. Ughhhhh.
this album deserve a Grammy, seriously dude this is one of the best production in the world, and if someone is gonna tell the contrary, please don't.
Well, I don't really suppose this is likely to have effect.
