Silverchair are an Australian rock band.[1] The band formed as Innocent Criminals in Merewether, Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, in 1992, with the lineup of vocalist and guitarist Daniel Johns, bass guitarist Chris Joannou, and drummer Ben Gillies. Silverchair have been highly successful in the Australian recording industry, receiving the industry's flagship awards, the ARIA Awards, a record[dated info] 21 times.[2] The band have also received six APRA Awards.[3][4]
Silverchair got their big break in mid-1994 when they won a national demo competition conducted by SBS TV show Nomad and Triple J. The band were soon signed by Murmur, and were successful on the Australian and international rock stages. In 2003, following the release of Diorama, the band announced a hiatus, during which time members recorded with side projects The Dissociatives, The Mess Hall, and Tambalane. Silverchair were reunited at the 2005 Wave Aid concerts, and went on to release Young Modern and play the Across the Great Divide tour with Powderfinger.
Silverchair's sound has evolved throughout their career, differing
sounds on specific albums steadily growing more ambitious over the
years, from grunge on their debut to their more recent orchestral
prog-infused chamber-pop. The songwriting and singing of Daniel Johns
has been noted as improving steadily while the band has developed an
increased element of complexity in later works. Silverchair have sold in
excess of six million records to date.[dated info][5]
