The band formed as Innocent Criminals in Merewether, Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, in 1992, with their current lineup of vocalist and guitarist Daniel Johns, bass guitarist Chris Joannou, and drummer Ben Gillies. Silverchair has been highly successful in the Australian recording industry, receiving the industry's flagship awards, the ARIA Awards, a record 21 times. The band has also received six APRA Awards.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey 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 was 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.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilverchair'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.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Silverchair","playStationPath":"/stations/113266126/play","stationId":113266126,"bioPath":"/music/Silverchair/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Eve+6","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2c4/2c4d01d170ddbc3738614d1bccfd4d38_md.jpg","artistName":"Eve 6","artistId":2724,"station_id":113268588},{"musicPath":"/music/A+Perfect+Circle","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5ec/5ecc0523b720790d520ccc62045db6f8_md.jpg","artistName":"A Perfect Circle","artistId":18,"station_id":113262395},{"musicPath":"/music/Rage+Against+the+Machine","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/153/15344cbcaf7cf6f815300ee17ad38d8b_md.jpg","artistName":"Rage Against the Machine","artistId":629,"station_id":113291453},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Presidents+of+the+United+States+of+America","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/695/6951beeac7d037cd1fd43111accc7c3c_md.jpg","artistName":"The Presidents of the United States of America","artistId":5893,"station_id":113265152},{"musicPath":"/music/Tonic","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a8a/a8a0e4f0e437bc9451ec8f5c06f53f32_md.jpg","artistName":"Tonic","artistId":10171,"station_id":113265429},{"musicPath":"/music/Finger+Eleven","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/455/4553fc0601145754636de22ac7b10ed4_md.jpg","artistName":"Finger Eleven","artistId":2494,"station_id":113262803},{"musicPath":"/music/Jane+s+Addiction","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/96e/96efc931c4fc4d2a9023fb9be644b760_md.jpg","artistName":"Jane's Addiction","artistId":1394,"station_id":113270021},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Nixons","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/05a/05a6d4d4567fc6446b8b9aff8e878f10_md.jpg","artistName":"The Nixons","artistId":101792,"station_id":280763891},{"musicPath":"/music/Meat+Puppets","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0d1/0d12de1d4d9f471fbafcc9b261df06d0_md.jpg","artistName":"Meat Puppets","artistId":1270,"station_id":113471127},{"musicPath":"/music/Eddie+Vedder","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/069/0692aa5a4b7dcf06cc30b38954243828_md.jpg","artistName":"Eddie Vedder","artistId":5701,"station_id":113273610},{"musicPath":"/music/Lit","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2d5/2d5146bd3a8303919597cc85c1f1a1b7_md.jpg","artistName":"Lit","artistId":2201,"station_id":113329236},{"musicPath":"/music/Eskimo+Joe","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/634/634e3de084c010b897005e1db9d46ba2_md.jpg","artistName":"Eskimo Joe","artistId":94986,"station_id":276007830},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Dissociatives","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/246/2462d12f060a0d755de5b61f7817cd22_md.jpg","artistName":"The Dissociatives","artistId":139643,"station_id":287829151},{"musicPath":"/music/Our+Lady+Peace","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f7d/f7d857f98d30dc7a8adea0be62a5563b_md.jpg","artistName":"Our Lady Peace","artistId":2582,"station_id":113281666},{"musicPath":"/music/Faith+No+More","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2f8/2f84f60133fe1ae01a3fac2669052fc5_md.jpg","artistName":"Faith No More","artistId":399,"station_id":113272546},{"musicPath":"/music/Hoobastank","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c6d/c6dc996987549abe0ab5de214093859a_md.jpg","artistName":"Hoobastank","artistId":1733,"station_id":113263875},{"musicPath":"/music/Cold","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/413/4138e9644c74a3a5b823716e1579cef0_md.jpg","artistName":"Cold","artistId":2133,"station_id":113286040},{"musicPath":"/music/Los+Hermanos","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f37/f37ef467a06d959d92b78738c18ddb5f_md.jpg","artistName":"Los Hermanos","artistId":79042,"station_id":267230241}]}
