Recording right now with the working title "3." Expecting to release it in the spring.

didnt care for their last one, but im still looking forward to this one.

*there

i had to edit that.

cool any chance of getting a cameo of kevin shields on this one?

Blasphemer.

the last album was way better than the debut, its not even on the same league

The Royal We

Royal We is pretty good, but so much of it sounds like radio emo crap to me. tried listening to it with some friends and they werent into it either. big step down from Carnavas IMO.

Perhaps you have a generalized dismissive perception of what emo music really sounds like. Swoon sounded like an homage to Siamese Dream, and all the songs were really well written. If you don't like Brian Aubert's voice that's one thing, but I kinda thought it was one of the more impressive rock albums of 2009.

thats a bold statement, pal. sounds homogenized to me compared to their earlier songs. Swoon isnt FULL ON enough for me. they never go full guitar wank like Siamese Dream does (gloriously).

Looking forward to this.

I never said it was their intention or that the musicianship on it comes close to the great guitar bits and songwriting Billy put together almost 20 years ago, but the similarities in the bands and the sound of Swoon are too hard to ignore. Its mostly the Big Muff distortion pedal and the fact that just like Siamese the songwriting on Swoon is so consistent from start to ending, moreso than their previous two albums.

Cool....I enjoyed thier previous two records very much! I like this band a lot.

fantastic dylan cover

really looking forward to this album.

THIS

i liked 3 songs on the last album, and even that, i didn't love a single one.

You're crazy if you don't like The Royal We. The orchestration in the background, that phenomenal ending? It sounds like you're just not that into Brian Aubert's voice, which I'll concede does have a little bit of an emo sound to it.

My favorite band in the last decade was probably Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. I'd put Silversun Pickups right there with them. You don't see many good rock bands anymore, but this band's definitely got something great.

i can take or leave his voice... much like Corgan, heh.
it's just Swoon was a bit too "alt-rock" sounding for my taste... even Carnavas, while i liked it, wasn't in my top 20 of 2006 or anything though...

i love BRMC, but they lost me after the first LP studio wise sadly.

Its surprising to hear someone say that considering the songs on Howl.

that dylan cover is gorgeous, really
