Silverchair single to debut this Friday!

Silverchair fans will get their first taste of the new album “Young Modern” this coming Friday when the first single from the album "Straight Lines" debuts on national radio and on the bands website. This will be the first new track to be played on radio in over 5 years.  

"Straight Lines" was produced by group frontman Daniel Johns with legendary MIDNIGHT OIL collaborator Nick Launay, who worked on previous SILVERCHAIR albums "Freak Show" and "Neon Ballroom". It was mixed by David Bottrill, who did the band's last album — 2002's "Diorama". The video for the song will also premiere on Friday. It features a dynamic band performance that was filmed at the Olympic Park train station in Sydney by directors Paul Goldman and Alice Bell (the pair behind the acclaimed film "Suburban Mayhem").

It has been announced that a CD single of "Straight Lines" will be released in Australia on Saturday, March 10 with "Young Modern" to follow on March 31. The CD single will feature three bonus tracks — two more original songs plus a live version of the MIDNIGHT OIL classic "I Don't Wanna Be The One" which SILVERCHAIR performed at last year's ARIA Awards to induct OIL into the Hall Of Fame.
