I saw them when they played the Toronto VFest. Hadn't heard anything by them before seeing them, didn't know who they were........but even then they were good. Really heavy stage presence.

 

And Little Lover's So Polite is too damn catchy. haha

How is Swoon compared to Carnavas?

I'm liking Carnavas quite a lot lately

"The Royal We" has charted at 39 on the Top U.S. Alternative Songs

Here are their performances on Jimmy Kimmel from a few weeks back in case you missed them

swoon is a great album,but carnavas is better to me.

Some of their best songs are on this record

Carnavas is a fantastic record from the first to the last song,and the ep is fuckin good too.

Yea Pikul is brilliant, I love Kissing Families, Booksmart Devil, Comeback Kid and Creation Lake

Swoon sold 214,000 copies (i don't know if only in u.s. or worldwide),but its pretty impressive in these times with the illegal downloading.

I like how they make their songs really deep

Yeah me too.

I just love the basslines. The one in Panic Switch is so catchy and cool to play. I really admire Nikki.

I love Nikki <33

She's kickass. So is the rest of the group.

Yea the drummer is probably one of the best drummers EVER

Well I wouldn't say this, yes he's awesome, but not the best I've heard, let's say.

true

we all have opinions

Here's an article I just found on the website

They're so cool. I love how they are so humble.

They're so cool. I love how they are so humble.

 

I agree and same here

I absolutely love the Silversun Pickups. Kickass band. Both Carnavas and Swoon are simply amazing CDs. Although there have been many bands before them with the shoegaze/fuzz style, they are the ones that introduced me to it.

 

I'm so disappointed that I can't go see them with Muse for their North American tour. I'll be in school when they're near. And it sucks because SSPU and Muse are two of my favorite bands :(
