| Ah, to be a big league music industry veteran before age of 20.Such is the position occupied by each of Silverchair's three members, who all log in at 19 years of age.While it may seem like an enviable place to be, the gents of Silverchair have had to handle most of their adolescence while under the weight of some heavy expectations. The band's debut album, "Frogstomp," blew up in a big way shortly after its release in 1995, vaulting the then 15-year-old band members onto music's A-list.Since then, the band has spent its teen years trying to recapture that magic. After getting good and angry on 1997's "Freak Show," the band has opted for a more intimate approach this time around for the recently released "Neon Ballroom."In a conversation with MTV News' John Norris, Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns explained the psychological issues at heart of album, his need to get away from his anger, and how he decided what emotions to give away, and which to hold onto when writing the album. Her also outlines why he think everything the band has done so far has been "leading to something a lot bigger and better."Are they there yet? Find out for yourself in our MTV News Online feature.
