One of my favorite 90s bands that is so underrated. It's a shame that most people only know no rain
I remember Frogstomp really making a splash as their debut.I am currently reading Love & Pain, The Epic Times and Crooked Lines of Life Inside & Outside silverchair.
This is a story told about the band by drummer Ben Gillies and bassist Chrish Joannou.
Any silverchair fans on this board? It's a shame we will likely never get a 6th album. Daniel Johns is an amazing musician.
Their first 4 albums are all different- Frogstomp, Freak Show, Neon Ballroom, & Diorama
There is nothing like the 90's!
Yes it made a huge splash, the lead guitar has grown on me, but I was impressed with the lead guitar for a 15 year old at that time on their song 'Tomorrow'I remember Frogstomp really making a splash as their debut.

Lyrically Neon Ballroom is my favorite album, musically Diorama is my favorite album, but those first 4 albums are damn good.

The first music video I saw of theirs was Abuse Me off of Freak Show. What I loved most about silverchair is that they used more than guitars, bass, & drums; even on Freak Show.I'll have to check out the stuff after Frogstomp. I remember being really high on them when it came out but it was so late to the scene for a Seattle sounding band. Cobain was long gone by the time they showed up and I was moving away from Seattle into Rage & Jeff Buckley by the mid 90's.
Israel's Son played on my playlist yesterday on the way to work. That sound is pure Soundgarten with a Cobainish sound replacing Cornell on vocals.
One thing you have to recognize is their age. Tomorrow might be the greatest single ever put together by 14-15 year olds.
Love Better Than Ezra. Very underrated. Great vocals and songwriting. LSU boys IIRCThe first music video I saw of theirs was Abuse Me off of Freak Show. What I loved most about silverchair is that they used more than guitars, bass, & drums; even on Freak Show.
The opening baseline to Israel's Son is pure grunge and sets the tone for the whole Frogstomp album.
I agree with you about their age- no one in music at that time of their age was doing what silverchair did. The piano in Emotion Sickness (Neon Ballroom) is theatrical and I love the work they did with Van Dyke Parks with their orchestra arrangements.
Daniel Johns & their drummer Ben has put out music post silverchair, but there was something magical about each silverchair album where it didn't sound like the previous album.
Fingers crossed one day for that 6th album
Other 90's artists-- I am a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan (their first 5 albums are great), Foo Fighters (my wife and I went to the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in LA), Better Than Ezra (new album drops in May) & Collective Soul (new album drops in May).
The 90's pop rock, alternative/grunge, British rock, orchestra rock was great & still sounds good.
BTE puts on a great show & is very underrated. Their album How Does Your Garden Grow reminds me of the Pumpkins Adore album and Radiohead's Paranoid Android- F.U. to rock & roll with different sounds. The last time I saw BTE the lead singer brought up how ND beat LSU in the bowl game. Their album Closer is probably my favorite.Love Better Than Ezra. Very underrated. Great vocals and songwriting.

I Wonder is my favorite of theirs. Also a cool music video:
Reminds me a lot of the video for “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” by the Smashing Pumpkins.
For the Blind Melon fans... you can find this on DVD (maybe Blue Ray too?) and it sounds great on your system.
Saw them play at a club in ‘01. I was lukewarm on going, but went because my girlfriend wanted to go. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.BTE puts on a great show & is very underrated.

Played a bunch of shows with these guys when they came to the West Coast for the first time way back when. Love this fuckin song. Slainte!
While it’s not my favorite BTE song I like that “Juicy” doesn’t sound like their early stuff. Definitely grows on you.BTE puts on a great show & is very underrated.

I'm not sure, but Dropkicks are like the house band of BC. They play BC's fight song - "For Boston" - at concerts in Boston all the time.They actually recorded the ND fight song w/ bagpipes but I want to say I recall hearing they do not particularly care for ND? Hope I’m wrong.
