In the brutally cold world of Big Rock Biz, there's something very comforting about just knowing that a band like L.A.'s Silversun Pickups exists. That feeling derives from the group's searingly sumptuous music, sure, but it has a lot to do with knowing their rather humble origins and super-admirable raison d'etre.
Silversun's secret weapons are the achingly potent melodies of their songs, which poke their lovely, shy heads out and ultimately proclaim their power in rare shades of melancholic ardor. While so many bands oftclaim supreme melody as the underpinning of their noise, with the Pickups it can claim moral superiority: Silversun radiates palpably great melodies that - the real test - simply won't leave you alone no matter how you try to shoo them away.
