Ryan Adams and...Silverchair?

Ryan Adams has a new album out and it's pretty solid. Everything of his usually is. The man that somehow has put out more albums within 5 years than some groups do in a lifetime, has once again brought his voice and lyrics to make another beautiful album. The new album is titled "Easy Tiger." You can go and check out some songs and see tour dates at his Myspace page. This video is from his performance (with the always-by-his-side band The Cardinals) on David Letterman earlier this week. The song is "Two" and is an excellent representative of his outstanding art.



Now, I am far from being a person in the know of music. I just like to listen to what people are checking out, and see if it's something that I would enjoy. A friend of mine mentioned on a message board, that Silverchair is going to be a breakthrough band this year. I had no idea to what he was referring, because I honestly thought that Silverchair had gone down with the many other bands of the 90's grunge era. Yet, I ran a Wiki search and discovered that the band has not only continued making music, but that it's been pretty decent. So, they have a new album coming out, titled "Young Modern" and they are already selling out concerts...not in Australia, but in the United States! How have I missed this?

Having listened to what is out there, this is not the Silverchair that I was used to...10 years ago. No longer is it a deep voiced 17 year old baby-faced boy wailing on a guitar. You'll be surprised as I was. But I can't get this song out of my head, nor the thought that Daniel Johns (who is married to hotty Natalie Imbruglia) greatly resembles Freddie Mercury! See if this gets stuck in your head...
