Silverchair was an influential Australian rock band formed in 1992 in Newcastle, New South Wales, by singer and guitarist Daniel Johns, bassist Chris Joannou, and drummer Ben Gillies. The trio shot to fame while still in their mid-teens with their 1995 debut album, "Frogstomp," propelled by the grunge-influenced smash hit "Tomorrow." Their sound evolved substantially over the years, moving from the heavy grunge roots of their early work to more sophisticated and orchestral influences evident in later albums such as "Neon Ballroom" (1999) and "Diorama" (2002). The latter album marked a creative peak for the band, earning widespread acclaim for its ambitious fusion of rock with artful arrangements and a broader palette of sounds.

The culmination of their musical evolution was showcased in their fifth and final studio album "Young Modern," released in 2007. The record spawned the chart-topping single "Straight Lines," which became one of the band's most successful and enduring songs, encapsulating their blend of intricate songwriting and melodic flair. Despite their critical and commercial success, Silverchair announced an indefinite hiatus in 2011, leaving a legacy as one of Australia's most successful and beloved rock bands. Their discography reflects a dynamic progression and an enduring influence on both the Australian and global music scenes.
