SILVERSUN PICKUPS, NECK OF THE WOODS

I was fortunate enough to meet the Silversun Pickups a few years back when they played in Seattle at the Paramount. It was the first real concert that my two older kids had experienced and the band invited us backstage before the show. Beyond being great and talented musicians, they are genuinely nice and down to earth people and I will always be appreciative for them taking the time to meet with my kids. At the time they were touring in support of their album Swoon, which was a killer album. Last week the band released their forth album, Neck Of The Woods. While the band does not break any new real ground in terms of their musical style, it is another fine album and one that finds the band continuing to expand and develop its sound quite nicely.
