Silversun Pickups at the 100 Club

If you don't know who the Silversun Pickups are, go and listen to their album Carnavas right now. They sound epic, emotional and blend the bed-wetting ballads of the Smashing Pumpkins with the diesel powered guitar fuzz of BRMC. They lead a brilliant new charge of LA bands, including Cold War Kids and Eastern Conference Champions.

The cramped 100 Club set on Oxford Street on 18th July was incredible, which isn't a word we use lightly around these parts. In fact, we'll go on record and say they're the best band to come out of America since The White Stripes. Woo....Put that on the billboard and smoke it.
