Their songs are too long, the singer's too whiney and they sound too much like the Smashing Pumpkins. All those complaints and many more were levelled at Los Angeles' Silversun Pickups over their first two albums, but on their third...

General Info from Wang Wen (惘闻) (MySpace) – The band was formed in the city of Dalian, a busy seaport in northeast china, in the year of 1999. Wangwen was at first started by two awkward (at that time!) guitarists who were crazy about The Smashing Pumpkins and later joined by the drummer who also [...]

“Up until the moment I put the needle into the outer groove of Flying Saucer Attack’s ‘Chorus’ I believed several things about recording. I believed that recordings were made in recording studios, and that recording studios were expensive, and manned by highly trained individuals with specialised knowledge of an obscure and faintly occult progress. Records were expensive to make but that was okay because recording artists sold loads of them, and anyway, record companies paid for all that stuff. Within the space of forty-five minutes I discovered that what I was listening to was made possible without any of ...

Hello Cleveland! Are you guys ready to rock? Giving these a theme is quite fun, so here's another themed post for today. See if you can guess what it is.

On this day in 2000, the Smashing Pumpkins called it a day after twelve years and six albums. The breakup of the influential alternative rock quartet has been a mystery ever since their final, four-hour Chicago show in December of 2000. Singer Billy Corgan blamed anyone and everyone he could for the Smashing Pumpkins’ demise. He called bassist D’arcy Wretzky a “mean-spirited drug addict,” and later stated that guitarist James Iha was to blame. However, Iha would respond by stating, “No, I didn’t break up the band. The only person who could have done that is Billy.” Corgan ...

Upcoming Releases : Drummer Mike Byrne says the band ditched click tracks while recording "Oceania", giving the album a rocking live Led Zeppelin vibe.

Hace poco Smashing Pumpkins pasaban por la capital de España sin pena ni gloria, o mejor dicho, con más pena que gloria, ya que eran muchos los fans que acusaban a la banda de haber dado una actuación más que cuestionable y además de haberse dejado bastantes temas en el tintero. No sabemos si ese es el motivo de que Corgan y los suyos hayan decidido volver en un concierto “secreto” o “sorpresa”, aunque ya sepamos los detalles. Siguiendo la cancelación de del festival tinerfeño Rock Coast hace unos días,...

Es de sobra conocida la grandeza y el legado que dejaron los Smashing Pumpkins, porque aunque hayan vuelto a “reunirse”, esa reunión sólo mantiene al bueno de Corgan y el batería. La esencia sigue estando en los grandiosos álbums como el Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Siamese Dream , Adore …etc. Esos regalos de [...]

“An ache inside your soul, fearing the unknown, don’t hide yourself away from being happier,” begins the lyrics of Paper Crows new song Happier . Now let’s face facts happiness in pop music has always been pretty unhip. When he was reminding us that heaven knows he was miserable now Morrissey was effectively also reminding us just how damn savvy he was. Sarcasm built with a steadfast dislike of the world and yourself is the ultimate in cool when you’re young. Of course as you get older, you just become a grumpy old git that nobody wants to ...
