The Latest Obsession
Let's just say you have a band that has a slightly raspy/slightly screechy-whiny mop-haired vocalist and lead guitarist, a female bass player and an asian dude who all play guitar-oriented prog/metal/alternative rock with a penchant for feedback-laced guitar freakouts. Now let's say that it's 2007 instead of 1993, and that we're not talking about The Smashing Pumpkins, who would you have?
Silversun Pickups.
Seriously, they take the best parts of Sonic Youth and Smashing Pumpkins and turn it into the best new band working today. I just got thier album (available at your local Target for a low, low $6.98) and it is absolutely amazing. They have plenty of cool-ass videos on Youtube, look them up, won't you?
By the by, if you haven't yet heard...
