Silverchair's first single, "Tomorrow", was highly successful upon its Australian release in 1994, and provided the band an opportunity to release their music internationally. Shortly after, they released their debut album; Frogstomp.^[1] Achieving success in the United States and performing around the world, Silverchair's band members continued with their school studies, and in 1997 released Freak Show. Following the success of 1999's Neon Ballroom, Silverchair toured worldwide, then announced a break following the termination of their contract with Sony. The band joined Eleven, a record label formed by their manager John Watson.

Silverchair returned to recording in June 2001, and released Diorama in 2002. Lead singer Daniel Johns suffered from reactive arthritis from late 2001 while the album was being mixed until early 2003 when his symptoms became light enough to tour again. A tour was attempted to promote the album in 2002 but in April of that year it had to be rescheduled to 2003 due to Daniel’s failing health. ^[2] and after the 2003 “Across The Night” tour, the band announced a hiatus.^[3] Silverchair reunited after Wave Aid in 2005, and released Young Modern in 2007.^[4] Silverchair went on an indefinite hiatus in May 2011.^[5]
