Silverchair are one of Australia’s most successful rock bands of all time. A lot was made of Silverchair’s ages (14/15) when they released the monumental Frogstomp in 1995. It was an incredible feat for 3 teenagers, especially given the quality of what they produced - but their age often went against them by becoming the focal point. A lot of people may not have paid attention to the seismic musical evolution throughout Silverchair’s career, and in Daniel Johns’ solo work. Daniel Johns is a genuine musical genius, with a creative approach to melody and orchestration that has led to a huge range of music to discover. This list combines Silverchair, The Dissociatives and Daniel Johns solo - and if there is anything you haven’t heard yet, you’re in for a treat.
