This Japanese-only ten-track album contains all the songs from their
Sun
EP, and the
"Lava"
and "Last Day" singles. Early on, it's obvious that
Silver Sun
had their sound mapped out: surround sweet, catchy melodies with a wall of guitars that are set to stun. Falling somewhere between
Cheap Trick
and
the Buzzcocks
(with a touch of
Teenage Fanclub
),
Silver Sun's
songs, penned by
James Broad
, are strikingly powerful little pop nuggets that are hard and tough on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside. There are eight songs on
You Are Here
that didn't end up on their album, so collectors should take note. ~ Steve Schnee
