Billy Corgan has a new band with a album out. I was a big fan of the Pumpkins back in the day and i'm curious about this new band. Has any one heard the new album? How does it compare to old pumpkins stuff?

Everything about Zwan is much different philisophically than the Pumpkins. They are more upbeat, loose, and their sense of humor is much easier too pick up on... Mary Star of the Sea is an excellent album, but if I were the band I would get rid of Heartsong and Desire and replace them with Ring the Bells, Candy Came Calling, Glorious or El-A-Noy. Those songs are infinitly more enjoyable. Album favs = Ride a Black Swan, Yeah! Jesus I/Mary Star of the Sea
I 2nd that. it's much more upbeat. it still kind of sounds like siamese dream. but not at all depressing. I've listened through it 3 or 4 times, it's pretty good, maybe not quite as much as siamese dream(my fav)
What song is it by either the Pumpkins or Zwan where he goes, in a really raspy voice "what is it?" over and over? I heard it on the radio and loved it, but I don't know what it's called! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Thats "Faith No More," dude. Good group of jammin, crazy ass American boys. The music video is really weird.
i am not sure which you are talking about ...but, if it's being aired on your station a lot right now...it's more than likely the new Zwan single called Honestly. heehee.....and, yeah...his voice is always "raspy"....that's billy for ya..Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Dont worry, I had the same problem with that song. They never said the name on the radio. Maybe the DJs didnt know it either. I had the same problem with many songs... Bush - come down Collective Soul - Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid (album) I felt like such a spaz for not knowing these, but I finally found them.
I think zwan.com is one of the grooviest sites I have ever seen. It's so yellow submarinesque, and there are samples of songs too if anyone was interested.
