The Australian rock band, Silverchair, announced on their official website today, that the band is calling it quits after 20 years of being together. They have been a band since they were 12 year old kids. They first got a record deal after winning a demo competition on a TV show called, “Nomad”. They recorded their winning demo with a song called, “Tomorrow”, which that song became a huge hit in the United States. The song made the band mainstream. The band announced they are on “indefinite hibernation”, meaning that they are not actually broken up for good, they will take a long hiatus from the music business.

The band only released 5 albums in their career, and I thought they were one of the good mainstream rock bands. I thought their albums, “Frogstomp” and “Freak Show” were the best. I was huge fans of these guys.
