It’s been 11 years since an independent artist ranked #1 on Billboard’s Hot Modern Rock Songs chart and today, Silversun Pickups are the proud new title-holders.Lead single “Panic Switch,” from Swoon, has impressively jumped over tracks from Linkin Park and Green Day, which were also in the running. This is truly a triumphant day for Dangerbird and the band, as only three songs by artists on independently distributed labels have reached this position.
The quartet is currently making their way across Europe and will return in August for festival appearances, as well as a string of newly announced tour dates.
SSPU also played Morning Becomes Eclectic earlier this month (June 4). Head to the Morning Becomes Eclectic archives to watch or hear the performance. And don’t miss the band’s performance on Yahoo! Music’s “The New Now."
