It would appear that I have missed out on the Sil­ver­sun Pickups. They are, accord­ing to Wiki­pe­dia and AMG, pretty well known, shoot­ing to fame with “Lazy Eye”, as part of the Gui­tar Hero fran­chise. They’ve been in heavy rota­tion on the music chan­nels, and they toured intens­ively in 2006/7 with OK Go, Snow Patrol, the Kaiser Chiefs and the Foo Fight­ers. Still, a couple of days ago, I was listen­ing to KROQ, and Panic Switch came on. I loved it, but, as per usual with KROQ, they didn’t announce the artist and track. Since then, I’ve spent a lot of time listen­ing to KROQ, wait­ing for it to come back on, which it hasn’t (when I’ve been listen­ing at least) until today. I heard it again today, and raced to find out what it was. Hav­ing checked out the AMG review of Swoon, I may be dis­ap­poin­ted, but it’s on my “To Listen list” on Spo­tify, and as soon as I get round to it, you can expect a full-on album review.
