�IMMEDIATE�
(single/ INVISIBLE HANDS)
God, no! The �Sun front man in James Broad was recently injured whilst making the accompanying video to �Immediate�� or so it has been alleged, when Mr. Broad thought that he was James Bond for a while and went hell for leather to emulate some of the secret agent�s stunning stunts for the aforementioned video. Long story short, he injured himself. Details are sketchy, but he should hopefully be fit enough to tour with the band, both in promotion of this amazing single, and when the band�s eagerly anticipated new album is finally released; titled �Disappear Here,� it�ll hit all good record stores - as soon as possible - in 2006.
This single, in the meantime, is dominated by �Immediate� - essentially a sublime power-pop song packed with the band�s trademark fuzz-charged guitar riffs and James� silky smooth vocals that couldn�t offend a fly� or McFly, for that matter. The first release since Silversun�s �I�ll See You Around� hit single, �Immediate� sounds destined to hit the charts with a resounding thump, backed as it is by two just-as-great b-sides. �Dance With Me,� up first, is a fast and fun pop-rock song, while �Sweet Baby� burns with the highly melodic dynamism that so dominates the music of Ash and Farrah. Pop-rock songs rarely come any catchier than those that Silversun hack out, with strong Beach Boys-esque harmonies complementing perfectly the wealth of eye-watering melodies.
On the back of previous albums, �Silversun� and �Neo Wave,� this band is big business, supported by a huge band of loyal followers. The latest material will naturally attract plenty of new converts in due course. What�s more, �No animals were hurt in the production of this material,� so claims the single sleeve. And that�s always a good thing, too.
