From FMQB:
After a teenage explosion in the U.S. with their Grungy debut Frogstomp, the boys in Silverchair have grown into men. One listen to their new disc, Young Modern (and glance back further at 2002’s Diorama), and it’s evident there’s no flannel, teen spirit or fashionable apathy anywhere to be found. What you’re left with is a stunning piece of work that incorporates classically-tinged piano, brilliant orchestration, a well-honed rhythm section and a newfound respect for Daniel Johns’ vocal prowess.
The Aussie trio’s first single, “Straight Lines” is already setting new standards for the band Down Under and stateside, spawning a whole new legion of rabid fans. We caught up with front man Daniel Johns as he geared up for the band’s first run of U.S. shows in quite some time.
