Trash Talk "Explodes" with Metal, Punk and Mayhem

Trash Talk is a band out of Sacramento that just released their new video Explode exclusively through Stereogum.  Their new album Eyes & Nines comes out on May 18th and can be pre-ordered on their website.

Explode reminds me of a cross between The Dillinger Escape Plan meets At The Drive-In.  The video and the song go well together.  The video basically shows you their chaotic live shows and times on the road.  That sounds cliched but this video definitely keeps you entertained for 3 minutes.

The band has toured Europe and Japan and has their own imprint called Trash Talk Collective.  Their last album East Of Eden was recorded by legendary indie-punk producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Superchunk, PJ Harvey, Guided By Voices, The Jesus Lizard - view list of bands here).

Silversun Pickups On Letterman

My love for the Silversun Pickups is definitely not going unnoticed on this blog. Their song Panic Switch has been in my Top 5 Weekly Songs back-to-back and their album Swoon (Dangerbird Records -album of the year?) is played non-stop in my car and office. Swoon has sold 138,000 copies off the first single.

Here is their recent performance on Letterman. Catch the drummer's amazingly high cymbal and Letterman's confusion at the end. Great performance!
