I dug out their album Neo Wave at the weekend and had forgotten how good it is. Not strictly glam but some great songs. Not sure if anyone else here would be into them.

Damn I remember that album! It was great stuff!
By the way, the album I used to have was also Neo Wave. Excellent Bubblegum Pop.
Also, for anyone who hasn't heard them...

I missed out on them first time round but got their last album Disappear Here last year. A great album, huge hooks and some fantastic choruses!
Spooky, I was listening to 'Lava' on the way to work today. Cool band to jump around to and get your blood pumping in the morning.
Cool find on the website Andii. Remember seeing them on TFI Friday which is what kinda got me into them. Not often I buy a CD on one listen to a song but in that case I did.
I still listen to the first album "silversun" on a regular basic,
Pop Punk at its best

The bass player Richard Kane was the guitarist in my last band Peach. 96 time. Left to join Silver Sun, the bastard! Great guy and shit hot musician all around. Got some demos we did togther too. Nowhere City bass player Giles Stevens was in the band too. Jesus they rae coming out the woodwork
Great version of the Johnny Mahttis / Denise Williams track Too much too little to late.
Was lucky enough to see Silver Sun (when they still called merely Sun!) at places like the Dublin Castle, Water Rats and the Monarch in mid-96. The albums captured them really well - didn't think they'd pull it off, but I guess Nigel Godrich has proved since that he knows what he's doing behind a recording desk. A genuine shame they never quite broke through. Richard was (and probably still is) indeed a nice bloke; I think he had something to do with Elastica as well.
Mate, you still lurk around Camden?
