Silversun Pickups

From the '70s and '80s to modern day, alt-rock has put interesting bands on the concert stage.

Three years have passed since Silversun Pickups released their sophomore album ‘Swoon.’ It was the successful follow-up to their critically-acclaimed debut, 2006′s ‘Carnavas.’ The Los Angeles, Calif. shoegazers seem to be following the same album cycle as they will release their third record ‘Neck of the Woods’ next week. Stream the entire album now before it hits stores.
