I think this band definitely deserves their own thread. Hopefully it won't die. I think everyone needs to give these guys a listen.

Anyway, I can't remember the last time I heard an album where I loved every single track on it. Silversun Pickups has two albums out currently, Swoon and Carnavas, and I adore all songs on both.

A lot of people think the lead vocalist, Brian Aubert, sounds like a chick. For me personally, I see what they're saying but I just can't hear it anymore. XD I think his voice is sexy.
Their bassist is a girl, though, Nikki Monniger, and she does some backup vocals.






YOUTUBE LINKS! Get a taste of what SSPU is all about!
These are the songs I reccommend.
The chorus of these songs give me the chills:

Panic Switch (album: Swoon) (this is the song that's been playing a lot on the radio lately, since this album just released this year)
Sort Of (album: Swoon)(one of my personal faves from them!)
It's Nice to Know You Work Alone (album: Swoon)
Three Seed (album: Carnavas)
Lazy Eye (album: Carnavas) (this song was on Guitar Hero and Rock Band I believe, I love this song but I don't think it does them QUITE as much justice)
Rusted Wheel (album: Carnavas) (definitely another favourite of mine)



There are many other songs uploaded on Youtube, so if you like these give the others a listen.

They really are a great band. Heard they played at the Weenie Roast a couple months ago or so. Sad that I missed it.

Carnavas was an amazing album :3
Love themm.

The Silversun pickups are amazing, I agree with the OP, they are one of the few bands who can make an album that you can listen to all the way through. totemo genki yo!

love this band. listening to them as I type haha

Haven't heard of them before, but the sound pretty good !!

Man, I enjoy listening to SSPU oh so much!

the bass line in panic switch is pretty cool. enjoying all the songs you posted so far. thanks for introducing them.

SSPU is comin' to my town soon, but sadly, I can't go.

pretty decent stuff by them

i found them through satellite radio.
they're awesome stuff.

Ooh, I like their music. :]
I don't think the singer sounds like a girl. o_O His voice may be high, but it's still pretty manly. lawl

When I first heard Panic Switch, I did think it was a girl singing so I was pretty suprised to find out the lead singer is a guy after I looked them up. Their music is not bad.

wow i remember watching lazy eye! i thought the guitar and drums was awesome.

thanks for introducing them to me again

A friend of mine kept asking me to go to a "sspu" concert this weekend with him.
I had no clue who they were. Thanks for the intro. I really like them so far.
.....too bad I can't see them this weekend. I'm going to a MUSE concert.
Definitely next time though.
