Daniel Johns chatted with us about shaking off the ghosts of grunge to bring his band and its newest release, Young Modern, back to the States.

So where have you guys been?
[Laughs] After Neon Ballroom, which is the last album we released in America that people kind of knew about, I wrote Diorama. Just as we were finishing that record, I got really sick and couldn’t walk. I started seeing an American doctor, who helped me walk again, and then we came out for a handful of shows about two years late for Diorama. Then I started a band back home called the Dissociatives, where I was producing and writing without anyone else really. I was kind of scared of touring and scared of Silverchair, because I thought it just made me sick. But about two and half years ago, I started really wanting to do another Silverchair record and started writing a lot of songs, and here we are.
