I don't know what people on that list are smoking, but there is no
way that No Use for a Name, 3 Colours Red, Midtown and Feeder are
comparable to Silver Sun - the sound isn't even remotely close(I
can't comment on the other bands, I don't know them). A band that
DOES sound like Silver Sun is Second Saturday

Over on the Silver Sun board, the topic is bands that compare to
Silver
> Sun. If any of the following unheard (to my ears) bands are worthy
of the
> comparison, please let me know. They are:
>
> 1. No Use For A Name (punk rock with vocal harmonies)
> 2. Easyworld (altogether brilliant indie-rock band)
> 3. Mo-ho-bish-o-pi (Welsh indie band, now split, released one
fantastic
> album)
> 4. Imperial Drag - Track down a copy of their 1996 debut of the
same name.
> 5. 3 Colors Red - Another good band that have a Wildhearts link.
> 6. The Samurai Seven - probably the closest of any of the bands
here to the
> Silver Sun sound. I can recommend their album 'Le Sport' to anyone.
> 7. SugarPlumFairies/ The Celebrity Squares - the same band, who
released the
> album 'Fruit Karma' under the first name and will release a new
album under
> the new name early next year.
> 8. Midtown - great harmonies, fists in the air rock style stuff.
get 'living
> well is the best revenge' not the first album 'save the world lose
the girl'
> cos its better produced. it s in my top five behind silver sun and
london
> calling
> 9. Young Fresh Fellows
> 10. Feeder's first 2 albums "Polythene" and "Yesterday Went Too
Soon".

will give
