Silversun Pickups land Best New Artist Grammy nomination
Not to say "we told you so" but...
We totally told you so.
We told you back in 2006 that you should pay attention to this Silverlake band we thought was pretty awesome. We told you that "Swoon" was one of the most ass-kicking, mind-blowing, face-melting rock albums we'd heard in years. We believed in it so much we sent our Embedded team out to spend the week "Swoon" was released with the band, hitting independent record stores, creating a set list and performing at their favorite almost-hometown venue, Pomona's Glass House.
So suffice it to say: Silversun Pickups are hardly new to us, but as the Recording Academy looks for artists who have newly made an impact in the industry for the Best New Artist award, there's no question that this—thanks to "Swoon"—was their year. And now they're officially one of five nominees.
