silverchair

Who is silverchair?

• Daniel Johns, Vocals and Guitars
• Ben Gillies, Drums
• Chris Joannou, Bass Guitars

In my opinion, silverchair is the best band of all time. I think they are awesome...especially considering that they are all under the age of 21. They have 3 albums out currently...Frogstomp(95), Freak Show (97) and Neon Ballroom (99). (I recommend Neon Ballroom, it's great!) They are best known for the songs "Abuse Me", "Freak", "Pop Song for Us Rejects" and "Anthem for the Year 2000".I made this page to inform you about silverchair...
