    Their debut "Fad" was an excellent and exciting introduction. "Archive Material" is even better. Not much has changed when you compare the albums. The guitars still have that Pavementy fashionable cool feel, the bass sound is still incredible. The slacker rock reference point is still valid but album number 2 does progress things for Silverbacks.

    Silverbacks cram a lot of music into their songs, making each one a densely packed mix of angular guitar riffs and jittery alt-rock, often played with chops, alternating boy/girl vocals, and a need for shouted, repeating phrases. It is an acquired taste that often perks up the ears and brings pleasure but just as often fails to carry a melody and disappoints.
