PANIC SWITCH” TURNED ON AT MODERN ROCK RADIO - #1 MOST ADDED

While Silversun Pickups prepares for their live debut of 2009, lead single “Panic Switch” has earned the #1 Most Added title at Modern Rock Radio this week, earning 24 adds total. The L.A. quartet is quickly shifting into high gear, as the April 14 release of Swoon on Dangerbird Records is lurking just ahead.

The first of two performances at SXSW will be at Stubbs Friday, March 20, for the Guitar Hero® Metallica Event, followed by one at Antone’s Saturday, March 21, at 12:00 a.m. SSPU has asked some local and international friends to join them for their Saturday show: The Duke Spirit (UK), Afternoons (L.A.), The Happy Hollows (L.A.) and The Pity Party (L.A.).

Silversun Pickups once again enlisted producer Dave Cooley and mixer Tony Hoffer for Swoon, the gurus behind Carnavas, to help create a tapestry of romanticism and frenzy. The band continues to enjoy its dichotomous relationship with sound, comfortably weaving from beauty into aggression, whilst dense melodies ricochet off distortion. “Panic Switch,” parades that classic SSPU formula: the steady, searing bass leads the charge, as the guitar falls in, drums march, keys echo, all in salute to Aubert’s sweet, wafting vocals. The accompanying video was recently shot in Los Angeles by Grammy-nominated James Frost, whose credits include Radiohead’s “House of Cards.” MTV News recently offered a sneak peek into the making of Swoon, showcasing the band in the studio and two songs from this forthcoming album.

Silversun Pickups will play a pre-Coachella warm-up show at the Glass House in Pomona, Calif. Sunday, April 12 before helping to usher in the 10^th annual Music and Arts Festival alongside Paul McCartney, Morrissey, Franz Ferdinand and Leonard Cohen but will first warm up. The quartet has also been added to The Sasquatch Festival line-up on May 25.
