No joke, I just confused Silverchair with Silversun Pickups. You can see my confusion. Both have ‘Silver’ in their names and they both have kind of Smashing Pumpkins kind of sound. Anyhoo…The Silversun Pickups just announced a 2019 tour across the U.S. to support their latest album, ‘Widow’s Weeds.’ The first of 12 shows will kick off June 2 in...

Taking Back Sunday recently announced that they will be celebrating their...

Billy along with James Iha AND Jimmy Chamberlin...
