"Young Modern" by the band Silverchair... yes, those 90's teen grungers from the land down under who debuted at age 15 with "Frogstomp". their music has matured amazingly. complex arrangements, full orchestration on many tracks, and hard, crunchy guitars on others. sweet harmonies and the lead singer, Daniel Johns (who also writes the material) is phenomenal. on some songs, at first listen, you wonder if the melody being sung even matches with the music... but after a listen or two, it comes together beautifully. (their 2002 release "Diorama" is another favorite... check out Rolling Stone's reviews) since i admire you as a songwriter and respect your musical opinion, i will indeed check out some of this music. and since you are also a big Beatles fan, may i offer up one of my favorite cd’s from this year that smacks of fab four songwriting influence (mostly Lennon in the I Am the Walrus period)? “Young Modern” by the band Silverchair… yes, those 90′s teen grungers from the land down under who debuted at age 15 with “Frogstomp”. their music has matured amazingly. complex arrangements, full orchestration on many tracks, and hard, crunchy guitars on others. sweet harmonies and the lead singer, Daniel Johns (who also writes the material) is phenomenal. on some songs, at first listen, you wonder if the melody being sung even matches with the music… but after a listen or two, it comes together beautifully.
