I was lucky enough to come across Silversun Pickups’ self-released EP last year and was immediately smitten with the band’s relaxed take on rock ‘n’ roll’s melancholic side, and how, as they put it “get loud, get quiet, get ugly, get pretty.” I’m also lucky Joe didn’t beat me to this band, like he did with fellow shipmates, Earlimart.

This (Pikul) is a great ep. I’m looking forward to a full length.
nice one, sean! i wish i had beaten you to it!
Nikki plays bass. Brian Aubert is the lead singer of this group.
This is some of the best rock i have heard in some time. Is that a female vocalist? I love her faux-manly voice. And if it’s a male vocalist, i love his faux-girly voice.
Great band, great sound. Something that has been needed in rock for a while.
I haven’t heard any other songs besides “Kissing Families”, but what I’ve heard reminds me a lot of Modest Mouse, which is very good. I like it.
emosewa! (awesome spelled backwords)
thanks for this find, 3hive. =)
I love their music..and your site is pretty good.
who has lyrics for kissing families?
I like this a lot. I heard it in a shop the other day (Topshop, of all places!) and I’ve been trying to track it down ever since. But does it remind anyone else of Biffy Clyro?
Kissing Families Silversun Pickups lyrics
Artist: Silversun Pickups
Album: Pikul
Year: 2005
Title: Kissing Families Print
Correct
Stop the season stop the sting
a plastic mic a broken string
infected wound from a rusty ring
soon you’ll be there too
kissing families can’t recall
a program to derail us all
forgotten prison it’s been safe ’til now
it’s no wonder that we did it this way
keep looking forward on paths sideways
it’s everything that is connected and beautiful
and now i know just where i stand
move on
roll along
not today
it’s everything that is connected and beautiful
and now i know just where i stand
thank god you’re heart is too close
this can be the bitter end
i know it wont
well someone said i made a mistake
kept looking forward on paths sideways
it’s everything that is connected and beautiful
and now i know just where i stand
seasons always shift too late
spent too much time now on paths sideways
everything that is connected and beautiful
and now i know just where i stand
thank god it’s over….
Silversun Pickups Lyrics
The SSPU are the best band if the year!
Rustycat.
Best indie rock album of the year? Please! I dont think so. Hudson Bell’s When the sun becomes the moon is the best album of the year. sspu buzz band perhaps? Thought about buying the album till i found out they appeared on one tree hill. yuk!!!!! Lazy eye is their best song and its totally sounds like earlimart. seriously how sad
i love this band…they're pretty shweet
I am loving these guys. It grabbed me in the first chords. It's what I miss from the 90's indie movement. When music was awesome and made you feel something.
