[@backcountryme]

Late to the party. I’m 46 and just now discovering these guys. Their music reminds me of some of the best of the 90s bands I loved. Amazing music.

[@jr2904]

That's cool though, I'm 33 now but I remember seeing them for the first time in 2006 when their Lazy Eye video was popular

[@vanhalenbr]

40 here. Learned about them on Rock Band II with Lazy Eye. Great band. Underrated.

[@muncher64]

Yeah, Liz Phair meets the Dream Syndicate

[@shannonarrighi6170]

I don't feel so bad now. I'm forty six also and just now hearing them actually back in July was the first time🎶

[@faizulcy]

Its 00s

[@djstrains]

seen them 3 times. Even traveled to a different state to see them. The most underrated band of all time. This is what brilliance and genius sounds like.

[@KrommFarenborn]

Agreed

[@eddierock0642]

Nice, I will see them on San diego this september, very excited for!!

[@davidadrian1972]

🤣🤣Dude they really carry it away, I know exactly what you saying.

[@Throbtometrist]

To play the guitar and sing like that at the same time qualifies as genius for me.

[@amysturgis9327]

My favorite concert I've ever been to. I was bawling! 😭😆

[@xSaBBaTHxx]

I saw Nikki, Brian, and Christopher back in the 2000's. I was walking home from school (near Silverlake) and they were across the street chilling in front of a house. I was too shy to walk up to them but Nikki noticed me staring and she smiled back at me. I had never blushed so much in my life.

they are consider one of the bands that have left a mark in the alternative musis of the last decade

[@jodo6329]

They're not underrated when they're combined song views are around 50 million.

[@tracyleo8344]

no. its one of the awesome songs, but its not a masterpiece.

[@JohnRiversOfficial]

this genre is too punk for anything to be called a masterpiece.

They take me back to highschool. Trying to convince my sister to see them live this year lol

Same, Lee. I mean I've heard Panic switch on the radio for ages, and never knew it was them. Now, suffice to say, I'm a bit more attentive to their songs.

[@tortillajackson2342]

Welcome, buddy!!! I'm excited for you. Hearing them for the first time is amazing cause it blows your mind how good they are.

[@thomasleblanc1305]

Same here and I'm sad I didn't here them sooner lol

[@marktuley3579]

Ahh, come on guys, , ,no one's old here. . . .no one's late. . . hell, I'm 58 now. I found Silversun just after Swoon was released. I had never heard of them at all. I was at a Car Stereo place getting a CB radio installed in my truck. And in the stereo department, the manager was playing Silversun Pickups. . . . you know, in that stereo area where you can raise and lower the volume and play with the stereo settings. . . .And they sounded so fabulous. . . .I just had to know who they were ! So I asked the manager. . .and he told me all about Silversun Pickups !! And there I was !!!

[@uzi978]

I always come back to this. Hits me right in the sweet spot. That crazy guitar solo into the cello solo is friggin' unreal.

Nikky, easily my favorite bassist for the last 10 years

[@Nick-yk4kj]

12 years later and this song still gives me goosebumps.

[@KimC-vk5qp]

Seriously, do these guys do anything that isn't perfect? I've been lucky to see them a few times live, one of the few bands that sound even better performing than recorded. True musicians!

[@Penguin806]

In 2009 I, a high school freshman boy, rocked low cut brown converse because of this video and Nikki Monninger. Most underrated bassist.

[@Josh-oz1mc]

Man I only just found this song but I get this crazy nostalgia just listening to it..the sound of a better time

[@REFoUoG]

Man I'm gonna cry no joke how ill always miss Silversun and the beginning of my 20's

[@Asterik103]

same

[@noughiphiet]

One of the most powerful "this marriage is breaking up" song i have ever heard..

[@misty0469]

you could see it as a breakup song, but to me this sounds more like a song about aging, becoming your own man/woman, accepting your past and letting go of old hangups (especially with *drumroll* your family!), that sorta thing

[@xgamez5611]

I love this song so much and i just scream the "THANK GOD IT'S OVER" part at the end cuz it resonates with me so much. What a beautiful song.

[@AZ-vf1qe]

I scream his scream parts :))!!!

[@brandong7193]

There's something extra special about Pikul,. I love their other albums, specially Carnavas and Swoon, but this EP is so unique. It has this personal, moody tone they haven't revisited since. The music is raw and the guitar tones throughout are incredible.

[@matteoshay5625]

My favorite by far. Holds a big part of my teenage angst in it.

[@deviateedits]

If you want a similar vibe, check out the album "A triumph for man" by Mew. Its essentially Pikul: expanded, one of my favourite albums

[@doyoufeelathomehere]

Implore you to check out the Sunset Junction '03 CDr and their 2004 Demo CDr if you haven't already. Easily some of their most powerful recordings!

[@JDegennaroTX]

Favorite song of my favorite band when I was 13. I'm 20 now and I just saw them a few hours ago live. Amazing.

[@levipaynter4543]

This song never gets old. They are still one of the best bands out there!

[@deviateedits]

2022 and still my absolute favourite song. This is something else right here. Not just music. Something else entirely.

[@AZ-vf1qe]

Best song ever and yet it won't be heard by 99.9% of people..... their loss :)

Stop the season stop the sting A plastic mic a broken string Infected wound from a rusty ring Soon you'll be there too Kissing families can't recall A program to derail us all Forgotten prison it's been safe 'til now It's no wonder that we did it this way Keep looking forward on paths sideways It's everything that is connected and beautiful And now i know just where i stand Move on Roll along Not today It's everything that is connected and beautiful And now i know just where i stand Thank god you're heart is too close This can be the bitter end I know it wont Well someone said i made a mistake Kept looking forward on paths sideways It's everything that is connected and beautiful And now i know just where i stand Seasons always shift too late Spent too much time now on paths sideways Everything that is connected and beautiful And now i know just where i stand Thank god it's over....

Amazing lyrics in all of their songs. I just came back to them.. reminded why I listened to them for so long. Emotional lyrics, emotional music mixed is heart grabbing experience like no other...and they have it in every song.

[@NWHSBL]

When he gets to the harsher vocals they almost have a Frank Black quality to them. I wish he did that more.

[@Fire_Marshall_Bill]

Oh my God somebody that gets me musically.

[@Fire_Marshall_Bill]

Never ever thought I would see the day that another Frank black fan comes out of the shadows.

[@Lemegeton300]

personally i much prefer that the harsher vocal is used in shorter bursts. Lazy Eye is one of my favorite songs ever and its partly due to how explosive it feels when he lets rip with the harsher sound.

[@Im_alex_h]

Also has a The Lonesome Crowded West era Modest Mouse vibe

[@alexcameron4436]

Celtic_Spike exactly. It’s special when he uses the harsher vocals because it’s not their default sound

[@toulad5317]

underrated so they remain pure x

Love love love! The cello in this is so beautiful. Pikul is definitely a favorite album by them♥️ " No wonder how we did it this way. Kept looking forward on paths sideways, it's everything that is connected and beautiful and now I know just where I stand." ♥️♥️ Goosebumps each time.

[@patldennis]

The cellist is the wife of Jack Black and daughter to late great jazz bassist Charlie Haden. I hate to describe her merely in terms of other people but that's how trivia be.

[@PROcrastiDRIVESVofficial]

2:18 LOL!! This bit is the funniest part for me. He's just so calm about the bass player floating up to heaven. Pulls her back down like "where the hell do you think you're going? We're playing a badass song here".

[@Aritul]

I liked that part too.

This band is ahead of they're time , people just dont realize how good they are . This track is as awesome, non pretentious and beautifully beat driven, and as American as apple pie. And that's saying alot considering the amount of great British bands. SSP is in my collection next to arcade fire , another great band that knows what sounds good.

[@brianrwilliams5732]

Nikki uses the “pinky rest” technique to mute the other strings by resting her pinky over them while she picks the strings, a technique I thought I seen her use in the “Well Thought Out Twinkles” music video which was really hard to catch considering it’s all coated with special effects so I came to this video to confirm it and I was right! A good technique to use when you’re starting off, I’ve evolved to a flat fist but this one is just as effective! (I don’t know who needed to hear that.) Great music video, loved the concept!

A very rare cello part that matches the cello in Meg Meyer’s songs, but it’s as standout as it is, it is not as intrinsic and intertwined assay in Meg’s desire since it’s a stand out solo... what is just a different and beautiful concept ...not better or worse but different!
