SILVERCHAIR SWEEP ARIA’S (Australian Grammy’s) TO BECOME ALL TIME AWARD LEADERS IN ARIA HISTORY WITH 19 TOTAL AWARDS! ANNOUNCE NOVEMBER/DECEMBER US TOUR.

Silverchair swept the 2007 ARIA Awards in Sydney last night. They won five ARIA’s - more than any other artist this year. Most significantly the band took out the prestigious Album Of The Year award for their acclaimed Young Modern. While they’ve had five chart topping albums over their career this was actually the first time that any Silverchair release has received that honor.

They received the following awards:
Album Of The Year
Best Group
Single Of The Year
Best Rock Album
Highest Selling Single

This extraordinary achievement makes Silverchair the most successful artist in the entire history of the ARIA Awards. Last night’s haul took the band’s career tally to 19 eclipsing John Farnham’s previous record of 18 career gongs. Silverchair opened the Awards telecast with a memorable performance of “Straight Lines” and set the tone for a very special night that cemented Silverchair in their rightful place as one of the most acclaimed and successful bands in Australian music history

The ARIA’s capped the busiest few months of the band’s entire career. They have toured non-stop over the last 16 weeks racking up nearly 60 shows around the world including international festival appearances and their hugely successful “Across The Great Divide” tour with co-headliners, Powderfinger. Those shows came to an end on Friday night in Silverchair’s home town of Newcastle.

Plain White T’s fans new and old get ready for a release you must add to your collection. On November 6, 2007 Fearless Records will be re-releasing STOP, the Plain White T’s original full-length album. The STOP reissue is fully remastered and includes three never-heard tracks from the band’s previous studio sessions and new artwork.

Singer Tom Higgenson explains that, “STOP is more of a diary to me than a cd. This collection of songs is 100% auto-biographical to my life in 2001-2002. I was going through my first serious relationship, and STOP chronicles all the ups and downs that came along with that. We recorded it in our friend Wes’ basement in Lombard, IL- the suburb of Chicago that Dave and I grew up in. The recording is very raw, but I like to think that gives it some character! And after all, in the end it’s not about how good the recording is, it’s all about the songs. I truly believe that some of the best songs I have ever written are on this album. So quit reading and enjoy our very first release on Fearless Records, and one of my personal favorites- STOP.”

Check out the album that led the Chicago-based band from Tom’s Higgenson’s bedroom into the hearts and homes of fans nationwide. The Plain White T’s have won a Teen Choice Award for “Choice Summer Song,” won the “Breaking Woodie” (Best Emerging Artist) category at the 2006 mtvU Woodie Awards and were nominated for an MTV Video Music Award (for “Monster Single of the Year”). They have performed live on The Today Show, Jay Leno, Carson Daily, and Jimmy Kimmel in front of millions of viewers. The rise to a Platinum single and Gold Album didn’t come over night but through hardwork and constant touring.
