The only reason Silverchair’s blistering Showbox performance didn’t surprise us: We had no idea what to expect from the band. We’d never seen them live, but we’d observed their gradual musical evolution from Frogstomp to Young Modern (out tomorrow) and didn’t know if they’d rock or pop through Friday’s show. Per our conversation with Ben, we knew not to expect much, if anything, from their first album, but otherwise we were clueless.

The best word we've heard to describe Danish band Mew is "unabashed." This trait is a good thing---we'd much rather hear a band play shoegazey post-prog rock earnestly than with their tongue firmly in cheek.
