With the cost of producing a full length CD being so costly, alt rock band from Anahiem, CA “Nobody Gets Killed” is asking fans and people who love indie artists to help "make it happen".
Nobody Gets Killed are pianist, guitarist, and lead vocalist, Mo Nabulsi alongside bassist and drummer, Michael Overton. This duo from Anahiem, California almost never existed until one day they performed together during a jam session and discovered a shared unique musical chemistry.

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.

Deep down in this Los Angeles Times story about the Recording Academy (aka the Grammys) NOT changing its eligibility to allow Lady Gaga a possible nomination as Best New Artist is some clarification on that category—and a surprising-slash-intriguing nugget.
There is a chance that veteran artists, as well as those who released records in 2008, will be nominated. Rock acts MGMT, the Ting Tings and the Silversun Pickups are all on the ballots for the 2010 ceremony. Los Angeles' Silversun Pickups have their sophomore effort in "Swoon," released this year on Dangerbird Records, and MGMT and the Ting Tings are still promoting albums that were released in 2008.
The best new artist field is generally one of the most debated of the Grammy categories. Recording Academy rules define the parameters this way: "A new artist is defined as any performing artist who releases, during the eligibility year, the recording that first establishes the public identity of that artist as a performer."
There's no question this was Silversun's breakout year, or (to our ears) that "Swoon" is Grammy-worthy. And it's clear the Academy has been aiming for a cooler, hipper audience (and that can't mean only the Jonas Brothers, right?).
Nominations will be announced December 2 as part of a live concert special. Get more news, music and videos with Silversun Pickups at Current.com.
