Hi everyone. Excuse me for being very late, but you all now that we all 've been very busy since there were many exams. Anyway, here I am again, with my new post about the Smashing Pumpkins. Well, you've probably never heard of the Smashing Pumpkins, but I'm sure that you'll like their songs, especially if you are Depeche Mode fan. The Smashing Pumpkins is an American alternative rock band that was formed in Chicago in 1988 by Billy Corgan (vocals/guitar), James Iha (guitar/backing vocals), D'arcy Wretzky (bass guitar/backing vocals), and Jimmy Chamberlin (drums/percussion). Different than the other bands, The Smashing Pumpkins includes gothic rock, heavy metal, dream pop, psychedelic rock, arena rock and electronica in their songs. The Smashing Pumpkins earned recognition with their second album, Siamese Dream (1993). Their marvellous success continued with their double album “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness” (1995), which has got the first place in Billboard charts. However, some problems among the group which was mostly caused by drugs, caused the 2000 break-up. In April 2006, the band officially announced that they were recording a new album. Yet, they went on a tour in 2007 with the returning members Jeff Schroeder, Ginger Reyes and Lisa Harriton for supporting their new album, “Zeitgeist”.
