SILVERCHAIR SURFIN' USA
Things are going from good to great for Silverchair in the USA right now.
"Straight Lines" broke into the top 20 most played songs on Modern Rock radio this week and is among the most requested tunes on most of the stations that are playing it. This is already the best U.S. airplay for any Silverchair track since "Ana's Song" got to #12 way back in 1999 and there's plenty more to come. The song has already been added by major HOTAC radio stations like Star 98.7 in LA and The Alice in San Franciso before the song has even formally been serviced to those stations!
The "Straight Lines" video is also picking up major spins on Fuse. It's just been added to MTV2 and it's on the cusp of making the top 20 most requested clips on the all powerful VH1. To vote for Straight Lines on the VH1 countdown please go to www.vh1.com/shows/series/top_20_countdown/vote.jhtml
And meanwhile the album reviews are the best of the band's career with the latest edition of U.S. Rolling Stone awarding Young Modern four stars in a piece by legendary wand respected columnist, David Fricke.
Online, the album has dipped into the top 10 on Yahoo's top albums this week so there's good news everywhere in the States for the chair.
