About THE SMASHING PUMPKINS:
THE SMASHING PUMPKINS have created one of the most acclaimed bodies of work in musical history having sold more than 30 million albums, and won multiple Grammy Awards in the process. Formed in
Chicago in 1988, they released Gish, their influential and platinum debut in 1991, which was followed by albums including the nine-times platinum Mellon
Collie And The Infinite Sadness and the four-times platinum Siamese Dream, as well as the platinum-certified 1998 album Adore. The pivotal group's many hits defined the alternative music era and continue to resonate on modern rock radio, influencing a whole new generation.
The PUMPKINS returned in 2007 with their acclaimed sixth album Zeitgeist. They have since remained on the cutting edge of music and technology with various online releases. In June 2012, the band released the album OCEANIA, via Martha's Music/EMI Label Services/Caroline Distribution.
Marking THE SMASHING PUMPKINS' 7th studio record, it is "an album within an album," part of their 44-song work-in-progress TEARGARDEN BY KALEIDYSCOPE. Corgan is now in the studio working on the next two
Smashing Pumpkins albums--Monuments To An Elegy and Day For Night--both of which will be released in 2015 via Martha's Music/BMG. The first single is expected to be released by year's end.
