Name: Silverset Pickups
Genre: Indie
Day: Friday

Wikipedia sez: “Silversun Pickups (also simply known as sspu) is an American indie rock band from Los Angeles, California, signed to Dangerbird Records, and headed by Brian Aubert. They released their debut Pikul EP in July of 2005, and their full length album Carnavas on July 26, 2006.”

I was all ready to say that I liked the sound of Silverset Pickups until I heard lead singer Brian Aubert start. Some call his style of singing interesting, I call it odd and out of place which detracts from the better music the rest of the band are making. Songs like Rusted Wheel are decent examples of that better music, with a slightly chilled out guitar sound which you can get hooked on quite easily which only gets slightly harder towards the end. The sad thing is that it all comes back to that voice for me, and I don’t think I would be able to listen to it for amounts of time.

Likelyhood of seeing at Coachella: Not this time.
