Silversun Pickups

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Brian Aubert (guitar/vocals), Nikki Monninger (bass), Christopher Guanlao (drums), and Joe Lester (keyboards) comprise the swarthy indie rock stylings of Silversun Pickups.

Their songs curl like a sleeping dragon around the foothills, soar between the skyscrapers, and slouch in the shadows of forbidden off ramps and skid row.

The first national release from LA's best kept secret. Produced and mixed by Rod Cevera (Weezer, Warlocks). Silversun Pickups coalesced in the east-side Los Angeles enclave of Silverlake. The area's thriving music community has spawned many a critical darling, including Earlimart and Autolux.
