Silverchair is back in the US after 5 years

Silverchair are back in the US for their first full North American tour in over five years! The band will be releasing their fifth studio album, YOUNG MODERN, July 24th on Eleven: a music company, in association with Warner Music Group. The trio will celebrate the release with performances of the album's explosive first single, "Straight Lines," on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Tuesday, July 10 and Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson on Thursday, July 12.

The next day, Silverchair's almost completely sold out U.S. headlining tour will launch in San Diego, CA at the House of Blues. WMG labelmates We Are The Fury have been tapped to open all except two of the tour dates (Seattle on July 20 and Vancouver).

"Straight Lines" might just be the hottest single at Alternative radio right now and is set to debut on the BDS Alternative chart at #35 this week. It's racked up a slew of important radio stations in its first three weeks including KROQ/Los Angeles, K-ROCK/NYC, Q101/Chicago (Top 5 phones), Indie 103/LA, 99X/Atlanta, 91X/San Diego, KBZT/San Diego, WFNX/Boston, KNRK/Portland (#1 phones), KRBZ/Kansas City, Sirius, XM and Music Choice. More stations are being added everyday.

YOUNG MODERN is Silverchair's fifth consecutive #1 Album in their native homeland. They've had more #1 albums there than any other Aussie band in history (Midnight Oil had four, INXS and AC/DC had three). Rolling Stone magazine in Australia has called the new album a "towering triumph."

"Silverchair have burrowed into a 'career band' niche that supposedly no longer exists. They're thriving on quality songwriting, authentic delivery and stylistic single mindedness which appears to be here to stay." LA Weekly
