History

Formation and early releases (1992–1996)

In 1992, singer/guitarist Daniel Johns and drummer Ben Gillies started playing music together at their primary school. When they moved on to Newcastle High School, schoolmate Chris Joannou joined the pair on bass. The trio formed a band named "Innocent Criminals".[4] They played numerous shows around the Hunter Valley region in their early teens, as well as unsuccessfully participating in Youthrock in 1994, a competition for school-based bands.[5] The band's mainstream breakthrough came in 1994, when they won a national competition called "Pick Me" (conducted by the SBS TV show Nomad and alternative radio station Triple J) with the song "Tomorrow". As part of the prize, Triple J recorded the song and SBS filmed a video for it.[4] Innocent Criminals were then given the opportunity to change their name before the release of "Tomorrow" as a single,[6] and chose the name Silverchair, which came about as a misspelling of "Sliver Chair", taken from the Nirvana song "Sliver" and the You Am I song "Berlin Chair".[7] Daniel Paul Johns (born April 22, 1979) is an Australian vocalist, composer, guitarist, and pianist, best known as frontman of the rock band Silverchair. ...

Silverchair's popularity quickly landed them a three album recording contract with Sony Music, and their Triple J recording was released in August 1994. The single spent six weeks at #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[8] In 1995, a re-recorded version of "Tomorrow" (and a new video) was made for the US market, becoming the most played song on US modern rock radio that year.[4] Silverchair’s debut album, Frogstomp, was recorded in just nine days, and released in 1995. At the time of recording, the band members were only 15 years old, and still attending high school.[4][9] Frogstomp's lyrical concepts were fiction-based, drawing inspiration from television, hometown tragedies, and perceptions of the pain of friends. The album was well received; All Music Guide and Rolling Stone rated it in four and four-and-a-half stars respectively, praising the intensity of the album, especially "Tomorrow".[10][9] A #1 hit in Australia and New Zealand, Frogstomp went on to hit the Billboard 200 Top 10, making Silverchair the first Australian band to do so since INXS. The album sold more than 2.5 million copies worldwide.[4] As Frogstomp and "Tomorrow" continued to gain popularity through that year, the group toured with Red Hot Chili Peppers and played on the roof of Radio City Music Hall, while also continuing with their education in Newcastle that year.[11] In a January 1996 murder case, the defendant counsel for Brian Bassett, 16, and Nicholaus McDonald, 18, claimed that the pair listening to "Israel's Son", from Frogstomp, caused the murder of Bassett's parents to take place. The band issue a statement denying that they condoned any such acts of violence, and the defense case was rejected.[12] ...

Critical and commercial success (1997–2001)

While experiencing the success of Frogstomp in Australia and the United States, Silverchair began recording their second studio album, Freak Show, which they released in 1997. The album yielded three Top 10 singles in Australia – "Freak", "Abuse Me", and "Cemetery". The fourth single, "The Door", reached #25.[8] The songs focused on the anger and backlash that the expectations of Frogstomp brought upon the band.[13] Freak Show was certified gold in the United States,[14] and global sales eventually exceeded 1.5 million copies.[15] This article is about the album by Silverchair. ...

After graduating from school the band was able to spend much more time creating their next album, Neon Ballroom, released in 1999. The band originally intended to take a 12-month-break, but in the end decided to devote their time to making music.[16] Neon Ballroom produced four singles; "Anthem for the Year 2000", "Ana's Song (Open Fire)", "Miss You Love", and "Paint Pastel Princess", three of which reached the top 50 of the ARIA Charts.[8] Neon Ballroom is the third album from the Australian musical group Silverchair. ...

Both Freak Show and Neon Ballroom topped the ARIA Albums Chart, making them the band's second and third, respectively, to do so.[17] The albums charted well overseas; Freak Show reached #2 in Canada, and Neon Ballroom reached #5.[18] "Freak", "Abuse Me", and "Cemetery" all made the top 10 in Australia,[8] and "Abuse Me" reached #4 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks and Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks charts.[19] "Anthem for the Year 2000" was the highest charting single from Neon Ballroom, at #3,[8] while "Ana's Song (Open Fire)" peaked at #12 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks.[18] Hot Modern Rock Tracks is a music chart in the United States that has appeared in Billboard magazine since September 10, 1988. ...

In 1999, Johns announced that he had developed an eating disorder due to anxiety. Johns noted that the lyrics to "Ana's Song (Open Fire)" dealt with his disorder, where he would "eat what he needed … to stay awake".[20] Johns later revealed that he had written Neon Ballroom while he was suffering from the disorder, and that he "hated music" at the time, but felt that he had to write nonetheless.[21]


Silverchair toured extensively in support of Neon Ballroom, propelling it to stronger worldwide sales than they had achieved with Freak Show. Rolling Stone's Neva Chonin attributed the success to the album's more "mature" sound.[22] In Europe and South America it became the group's most successful album to date, with Silverchair touring live and making appearances at festivals in Reading and Edgefest, amongst others.[23] Silverchair's only live performance in 2000 was at the Falls Festival on New Year's Eve.[24] On 21 January 2001, the band played to 250,000 people at Rock In Rio, a show they described as the highlight of their career.[25] Following the tour, the band announced that they would be taking a 12-month-break.[25] South America South America is a continent crossed by the equator, with most of its area in the Southern Hemisphere. ...

After the release of Neon Ballroom, Silverchair's three album contract with Sony Music ended. The band were subsequently pursued by record labels during their hiatus. At the end of the break, they announced that they would be signing with Atlantic Records for North and South America, as well as forming their own label, Eleven: A Music Company, for Australia and Asia. After the announcement, Sony released The Best of Volume 1 without the band's consent.[25] Atlantic Records (Atlantic Recording Corporation) is an American record label, and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Warner Music Group. ...

In June 2001, Silverchair entered a studio in Sydney with producer David Bottrill (Tool, Peter Gabriel, King Crimson) to start work on their fourth album, Diorama. This time, Daniel Johns formally assumed the role of a co-producer.[26] The album, which Johns described as "a world within a world",[27] came from his newfound method of writing most of the material on the piano, a technique he had developed during the band's break.[28] In order to complete his vision for Diorama, several other musicians were drawn in to contribute to the album, including Van Dyke Parks, who contributed orchestral arrangements to "Tuna in the Brine", "Luv Your Life", and "Across the Night".[29] Paul Mac and Jim Moginie also collaborated with the band.[30] While recording Diorama, Johns referred to himself as an artist, rather than simply being in a "rock band". Upon the album's release, critics commented that the album was more artistic than previous works.[31][32] In the music industry, a record producer (or music producer) has many roles, among them controlling the recording sessions, coaching and guiding the musicians, organizing and scheduling production budget and resources, and supervising the recording, mixing and mastering processes. ...

Diorama topped the ARIA Albums chart, and spent 50 weeks in the top 50.[8] Five singles were released; "The Greatest View", "Without You", "Luv Your Life", "Across the Night", and "After All These Years". Of these, "The Greatest View" charted strongest, reaching #3 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[8] Diorama was successful at the 2002 ARIA Awards, winning five awards including "Best Rock Album" and "Best Group".[1] The band played "The Greatest View" at the ceremony; the song was also nominated for "Best Video".[36] The album, and singles from it, were nominated for several awards in 2003.[1] Following the 2002 ARIA Awards, the band announced an indefinite hiatus.

Extended break and side projects (2004–2005)

In 2000, while also working with Silverchair, Johns and Paul Mac released an internet-only EP titled I Can't Believe It's Not Rock. After the announcement of Silverchair's hiatus, the pair re-united and formed The Dissociatives, releasing a self-titled album in 2004.[38] Johns also collaborated with then-wife Natalie Imbruglia on her Counting Down the Days album, released in April 2005.[39] Meanwhile, Joannou worked with side project The Mess Hall, producing their second album Feeling Sideways.[40] The album was nominated for the ARIA Award for "Best Independent Release" in 2003.[41] Gillies also worked with a side project; releasing a self titled album with Tambalane, and touring across Australia.[42] Paul Mac (born Paul McDermott) is a musician, producer and remixer from Sydney, Australia. ...

Following the Boxing Day Tsunami, Silverchair reformed for one show at the Wave Aid fundraising concert in Sydney in 2005, to raise funds for aid organisations working in disaster affected areas. At the same time, the band decided to reunite.[43] Reflecting on the occasion, Gillies put the band's reuniting down to a special "chemistry" between band members, telling The Sydney Morning Herald "It only took us 15 years, but recently we've realised, 'Fuck we've really got something special and we should just go for it.'"[44] For related articles, including charities accepting donations, see Category:2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. ...

Silverchair are generally a alternative rock/post grunge band, although their loyalty to specific genres has changed as they have matured. Much of the band's early post-grunge work was inspired by Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Black Sabbath.[51] Gillies agreed, noting the band were inspired by the "Seattle sound", as well as The Beatles and The Doors, and were highly impressionable in their youth.[52] Alternative music redirects here. ...

In writing Young Modern, Johns tried to make the music sound very simple, in spite of a complex musical structure. The lyrics were written after the music was produced, sometimes as late as the day of recording. As Johns has said he dreads writing lyrics, he suggested that the band could produce an instrumental album at some stage in the future.[53]


Joannou believed that Young Modern was more simple than Diorama, but "still as complex underneath with simple pop song elements". He said that much of the success of him and the band resulted from Silverchair trying to push themselves harder in recording and writing. Self-producing allowed the band to do so without the pressures of a record label.[54]


Gillies notes that Silverchair will often "run the risk of losing fans" in their work,[52] and this was evident in the changes in musical direction in Diorama and Young Modern.[52] However, he described this as a good thing, describing the fact "that we haven’t been pigeonholed, and people really don’t know what to expect" as one of the attractive elements of the band. Despite the ups and downs of success at a young age, Gillies says the band "appreciate what we’ve achieved and what we’ve got" in their careers.[52]


Reception

Frogstomp was described as similar to Nirvana and Pearl Jam; All Music Guide's Stephen Thomas Erlewine noting it followed in "the alternative rock tradition" of the bands.[10] The band's songwriting was poor at that stage, with Erlewine stating that "their songwriting abilities aren't as strong" as those of their peers.[10] Rolling Stone however, claimed that the band had risen above their peers, applauding Johns' "ragged vocals".[9] Freak Show saw the band show more of their own musical style, rather than copying others,[55] and thus received more praise for its songwriting than its predecessor. Yahoo! Music's Sandy Masuo described the lyrics as "moving" and "emotional".[56] The All Music Guide (AMG) is a metadata database about music, owned by All Media Guide. ...

Entertainment Weekly approved of the further advancement in Neon Ballroom, drawing comparisons to AC/DC, and commenting on "plush strings on these adult arrangements".[57] There were once again significant advancements in songwriting; Johns was described as "furious, motivated, and all grown up".[57] However, Rolling Stone said the album seemed confused, commenting that Silverchair "can't decide what they want to do" with their music.[58] Meanwhile, Diorama was seen as an extension of the band's originality, with its "[h]eavy orchestration, unpredictable melodic shifts and a whimsical pop sensibility".[59] According to PopMatters' Nikki Tranter, the album stood out in an otherwise dull Australian music market.[60] Entertainment Weekly (sometimes abbreviated EW) is a magazine published by Time Inc. ...

All Music Guide's Clayton Bolger described Young Modern as an improvement by the band, praising "catchy melodic hooks, inspired lyrical themes, and stunning string arrangements". He claimed the album was the pinnacle of the band's development.[61] PopMatters' Nick Pearson saw the opposite, claiming that "[o]nce you reach the level of intellectual maturity where you can tell the difference between cryptic but poetic lyrics and nonsensical crap, you have outgrown Silverchair".[62] Pearson called the album an attempt to secure a safer territory and assure sales, after the success of past works, calling it more boring than its predecessors.[62]
