Panic Switch

[solarwindsnoo]

great song and video! ♥

[lapseofmind]

I heard this song on the radio. I rarely listen to the radio. I was pretty happy that it hooked me up with something great to listen to. Thanx radio.

[TheTsiChris]

You guys really do rock, Id really like a HD version of your performance on Letterman. Best performance IMO to date. Awsome

[DrCreosote]

I heard this on the radio and just had to hear that awesome bass again. I swear, she must have 17 fingers!

[keldog7]

Love the band, but the drummer looks like "Animal" from the Muppets. (heh)

[Apachey27]

work=7 hours

*silversun pickups - panic switch*

[epidyx]

Can't fall asleep without panic switch.



[tommih27]

love it, love it, love it!

[epidyx]

This is AWESOME!

[80smusicman]

SUCKER PUNCH

[Blacklady1995]

I don't mean to be rude but I always assumed there was a girl singing :D Really love this song it's amazing!

[brianofearth]

@Blacklady1995 Ever heard of Coheed and Cambria?  You'll get the same sensation.

[Blacklady1995]

@brianofearth Haha you're right :D

[jdwyer4420]

I like this song, but after the watching the video, i couldn't stop laughing for minutes. it's the drummer that got me laughing, reminded me of when animal (the muppet) would drum. lmao. still a good song though, and other than seein the drummer pull his own muppet show, the video was alright. a better editor would have made it better.

[Rob5tanley]

@jdwyer4420 lmao that someone thought of Animal from the muppets when seeing the drummer :)

[lynkonline]

this is the trailer track for #suckerpunch movie.

[brillfart]

Only 100,000 views in 2 years? Proof that most people have no taste in music beyond what is jammed down their ears by mainstream radio. Silversun Pickups are one of the most underrated bands out there right now. Can't wait for the new album! Swoon was a huge step forward from Carnavas, I give it a 9.0/10

[chromecuty]

love,love,love this!

[MickAge001]

i love the way the guy plays the drums!

[Vaseliene]

OMFG wie geil xD <3 <3

[peterpahn123]

thumbs up if Sucker Punch brought you here

[samjr33]

I love a song that can make feel glad to be sad. Fkn sweet song!

[Simonstown28]

this is the first song ive ever heard of them and i immediately fell in love with their sound!!!

[GuitarZeroo]

drummer has the same style as animal from the muppets

[cardowan1]

one of there best songs ever :) i saw them live last year in glasgow they were awsome :)

[Angelique1307]

<3333333 omg i love them

[pridekitty]

new age hippie music kinda. but more modern and jazzy.

[kewlbassplayer]

Bass line is crazy!!! The album is amazing too!!! Big Tune!!!

[Asstricks]

I really like this song, especially the bass line, but in this video, the drummer takes the cake. He looks like he's just having a ball!

Kinda reminds me of Animal from the Muppets!!

[unforgiven666x]

@Asstricks ahaha that muppet comment made me laugh, i can see it too haha

[jadore286]

i knew them before gnt!

[4peluchita]

Can someone say " I am up in the clouds, I am up in the clouds and I can't come down." .............yeah.

[LoveisForever1998]

EPICNESS!!!!!!

[weesna]

[SilentKairyu]

@BluesMaddy

Silversun Pickups played at the 'Germany's next topmodel' final this year, so they got a little bit famous in here ;)

[Cheyenne31101995]

So Hammer ..... einfach nur geil!!!!!!

[BluesMaddy]

What's with all the Germans?

[MDomi]

So ein geiler Song und dann kommt die Stimme. Urgs. Selten einen Sänger gesehen der so einen Song versaut.

[metallicahoerer]

@MDomi ich könnte mir persönlich keine bessere stimme vorstellen..vorallem weil das ganze zweistimmig gesungen ist und die frauenstimme im hintergrund das alles noch ein wenig abrundet ;)

[Lene511]

I really really love it!

[XklecksmonstaaX]

ohrwurm ^.^einer der guten xD..

der drummer is hamma.. geht einfach total ab x3

[Biber3105]

[shayanskate97]

[paxRockz]

[Jooooooolachen]

the best song

[IUse2haveALife]

Great song

[MrMoneyclips]

I like the studio performance they did of this song on VH1 or MTV, I can't remember.

[InuGrrrl]

Just discovered you guys last night -YOU ARE AWESOME. Come back to NY! I missed you in March!

[TheFOOfighterFREAK]

3-23-10 DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY WERE NOMINATED 4 ANY AWARD i.e. 'GRAMMIES? 'CHECK the lighting out on this 'Vid'..Amazing!! KUDOS 2 the Lighting Crew, & the Sound & Cameramen CREW!! =D Whoever DIRECTED this deserves an AWARD!!...(Grammy) & then Whoever did the EDITING..Spectacular! Love ALL the 'Closeup fast clips of the face and hands on each instrument. MAN do U have a talent 4 Editing! It's very

'Psychedelic'...reminisent of THE BEATLES & ' SGT. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.'

[HighNflY]

he's got a little billy corgan to his singing

[deeperwaterz]

I agree I think he has a lot of Billy Corgan to his vlice good call :)

[deeperwaterz]

What`s funny is all the little bitches on here negged me for my opinion and observation, What` s the matter kids did Daddy not hug you enough as a child...lol

Grow up and get a life there is going to be people in your life that have an opinion other than yours, Get used to it.

[EUREKACRUX]

"And I'll try to hold on tight tonight. Pink slip, inviting me inside. i want to burn skin and brand what was mine, but the red news came ripping into fight. I f i go anywhere that you want me to go, How will i know you will still follow?"

[TheFOOfighterFREAK]

1-12-10 This singer is Brilliant & the band. Exceptional video. To those wondering if he is really singing.."The Jig Is Up..."OF COURSE HE IS...he's NOT a whiny singer. It's his STYLE of his vocals. That made this video ALONG with the KICKASS BASSLINE in HARMONY with the GUITAR!! ANYONE WANTS TO SEE AN MTV UNPLUGGED VERSION...@ my CH. OR go 2 DJGreenleaf. That's where I found it at. THERE IS A VAST difference between the VIDEO released & the MTV with 3 violins! HE WAILS MID WAY. AMAZING !

[deeperwaterz]

The bass line is amazing she is ripping it up.

[tutorials7000]

@TheFOOfighterFREAK thats what im talkin about! :D

[Introspection79]

This video is worth the time..

[mrzero1982]

and is it me, or does the drummer drumming away look like animal from the muppets!

[Opethfan79]

Lol wow he does kinda. Well a strange but good band.

[bittersweetsaraX]

@mrzero1982  ha so does the drummer from fall out boy

[mrzero1982]

i love this song. i bought the cd the first day it came out and knew panic switch would be a gem. i put it on a mixtape for my friends. they love it too

[TheBrownkid123]

@mrzero1982: Mixtape? What is this? '95?

[mrzero1982]

HAAHA you know what i meant!!!!! i burn cds for my friends with just a mix of songs! plus... is it even possible to record to tape from a computer?

[angelwings1086]

Not only that but does anyone even use cassette tapes anymore? They're as obsolete as records nowadays!

[mrzero1982]

idiot, people make mixes on cds but for some reason, they are still called mixtapes. dont believe me? go to their website, or type in "dangerbird, mixtape" on google. dont ask me, i am not the person who made up these terms.

[angelwings1086]

Woah, calm down. I was adding to your comment about trying to make a cassette tape from a computer! Just saying that if you can (I'm sure there's probably a way but I haven't heard of it), would anyone even use a cassette tape? How does that make me an idiot?

[mrzero1982]

the way you said it. if it angered you, sorry, but hey. thats just part of our vocab now man. it would be pretty weird and funny if someone said, dude, i made you a mixtape which is a cd?!?!!? thats just how it is. sorry if i angered you too.

[angelwings1086]

Wasn't angry, just explaining myself. I know what you mean. ^_~

[vene777]

records obsolete??? Not if you're a music lover...

[mrzero1982]

i agree. i love some vinyl on a turntable. kicks

[angelwings1086]

All right, all right I'll give you that one. But for the majority of people who'll settle for less for the sake of speed, simplicity, availability, whatever... you're not likely to receive an overwhelming amount of gratitude when you give 'average Joe' a record when he has no record player to play it. Know what I mean?

[mrzero1982]

their label says differently. just go and type in dangerbird, and mixtape on google

[tavo0987]

i really never thought he was a chick

[Opethfan79]

You are the only one then. If you knew nothing about them like me and never saw a picture or anything. You would really never think he was a chick? I find that hard to beleave.

[deeperwaterz]

I have seen them he is a weird one for sure creepy and cross eyed but, He has an interesting voice like so many famous musicians.

[Opethfan79]

Ok dont get me wrong I love this song but. What the hell is with the singer of this band. I just searched and it seems as far as I can tell with what I found that the guy is the singer. Did somone stomp on his balls or somthing. Like I said I like a few of there songs but untill I searched this video I never would have guessed it was a guy sining. I have to see them live to fully beleave it is him sining. Anyone seen them live who can tell me lol?

[milesxofxhope]

Ever heard of Circa Survive?

[Opethfan79]

Nope who are they?

[deeperwaterz]

I`ve seen them live many times he is the singer who else would be doing it...lol

I can`t imagine this band faking it or lip synching

[TheFOOfighterFREAK]

12-19-09 Brilliant !! I love this band. Very well done video. Good Directing. 1st saw on FUSE videos here in U.S. & the video here is different. Both are well done.

the band has a good sound, & the singer has great vocals.

[rushfan14]

The intensity of this song is great live!

[eternallymusical]

this song is so amazing it's almost painful. i fully connect with this song..and it's been on repeat for days now. ahh so good. all their songs are. :D

[Magicz89]

@eternallymusical how exacly do you connect? i personally dont understand a dam word of it

[eternallymusical]

i interpret this song as singing about anxiety problems or nervous breakdowns. there is speculation that it's talking about the music biz too, i can also see that in it as well. i struggle with anxiety so i connect with it that way. when he mentions being in crowded rooms, i understand that, because i often freak out in crowded areas.

that's just from my interpretation of the lyrics. but i connect with the intensity in this song more than anything. i can feel it flowing throughout my body.

[flowersofJapan]

saw them last night and they were good !! :)

[bkedp]

I've never heard of this band before seeing the video for the acoustic version of this song on Paladia. Awesome song, cool band. The acoustic version is much better.

[godtheonyt]

Gee whiz! This guys are soooo good! I wish i knew some of your other good songs!

[necuntlips]

not a chick. huh??

[OwMyBrains]

@necuntlips

I know, right? It's freaking me out a little.

[UnitedSovietParty]

Yeah, think you're right about the anxiety. The guitar gives this song a very tense feel at some parts.

[dasutin]

Is it just me, or does Brian seem weird when he's not using his Epiphone?

[SalMammanaBrooklyn]

the song is about anxiety...what they're saying is how could people go to sleep every night when there's so much turmoil in the the world...do they have some sort of switch to turn the panic off before they go to sleep?

[mavrikp23]

It's the guy singing. My best guess is that the song is something about a breakup and its associated feelings. That's what most of Swoon's songs are about to me.

[diggdoug909]

!!! GREAT SONG !!! but is she singing or is that his voice? by the way is this about domestic violence? just wondering...

[NapolianDynamite288]

im learning to play this on bass. its kickass!

[sperdoch]

fucking boss

[bublegvsmefever]

my new fav song

[Cuda043]

I don't know about smashing pumpkins, but i'm always getting a Placebo influence. Regardless great music.

[ysonyou]

Cutting edge. Fresh.

[old12school3]

The drummer reminds my of (ANIMAL)from the muppets!!HAHA

[0zaine0]

Chris dosn't stop headbanging thru the whole song. He has to be a bit dizzy after such a feat.

[blucinemafilms]

That drummer is cool multicolored blur of an image pounding out a driving rain of rhythm...

[TheCommonReactor1]

people need to stop comparing brian to billy corgan,corgan is much whinier and brian has full control of his whisper-like singing voice,not just that he can hold a scream.

[kxsteve]

One of their best songs....

[AisforAdam1]

THE DRUMMER MAKES THIS VIDEO!

[tehguitarfreak]

uhm, the drumer is Christopher Guanlao. The director is James Frost.

[123Mikki123]

indeed

[misterleg]

Billy corgin is a whiny turd. No comparison.

[anonymous9067]

I can see the comparison in style, but only vaguely in terms of voice.

I much prefer this over billy's groan.

[OmegamattShadowstar]

The video looks like something Prodigy would do. Like the bass and the drums, but I'd be more interested to hear the singer when he isn't channelling Billy Corgin.

[davegrohlisgod1121]

the singer reminds me of josh klinghoffer

[tigerlilyify]

this song has been running in my head since I first heard it...awesome song and video...Looooooove it!!!!!!

[DFURY09]

Exactly what I was thinking. Reminds of some Smashing Pumpkins. Got that cool rock and funk feel to it,havnt heard good music in this genre for a long time.

[DemonSlash37]

anyone knows what's gonna be the 2nd single of Swoon?

[Deasiasorous]

the drummers so into it.

and its hard to not pay attention to him

[AceOfJon]

Silversun Pickups are the new Smashing Pumpkins!!

[bunnysick]

A HOT sound, reminds me of the old Smashing Pumpkins energy, woke up with it running thru my head...hope when they get the big contract it doesn't all turn to shit :/

[cspcyfen]

reminded me of pumpkins as well. great stuff.

[rinabell06]

That drummer looks like he's having so much fun. I need some more hair!

[elusivEuphoria]

Agreed. Mr drummer person.... keep rocking out!

[electrictape22]

Silversun pickups are awesome. Probably my favorite band of all time.

[AirAssaultSapper]

astounding how you completely changed your sound, yet rock just as hard. that other guy is right "refreshing" probably the best compliment a band can get nowadays

[IYHproductions]

epic.

just pure awesome.

[douchebagmoore]

Great song. I heard it for the first time this morning on Edge 102. it's refreshing to hear something that doesn't sound like a copy of Theory of a Nickelback and all those shitty bands..

[rinabell06]

Instead they sound like a copy of Smashing Pumpkins. Nothing wrong with that though, nothing at all.

[snowjeanfr]

astounding

[panchojlc]

awesome

[FarmersSpirit]

not my favorite sspu video, but I think that Swoon is their best album yet! This band is so powerful.

[ergo9317]

i agree. swoon is really good. i also wish their videos were a little better :/

[Splodat]

I swear until I saw this video that this song was sung by a lady! Nice song & video. Chris is awesome on the drums, Love that High Crash cymbal and Nikki is just so Sexy.

[HarkWhoGoesThere]

Brian, you are a babe.

[joeprogo]

Dig the song, Really digging the bass on this one. Rock on.

[nes2989]

you guys slay so hard.

[derectous]

This song was my introduction to you and I must say it ROCKS!  I'm looking forward to getting the rest of your music. Good job on the music and video :)

[superchilangopunk]

You're soooo good

[stewardo]

Nikki, you are a babe.

[orehratiug14]

waiting, fading, floating away

god i love this song and the video is amazing

[nickypalumbs]

I'm glad I could find it.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you for releasing the best album of 2009 thus far.

[CHRISLARA1985]
