The Smashing Pumpkins wiki
Help us build the world's largest knowledge base for The Smashing Pumpkins and related acts!
We currently have 4,434 articles, detailing 1,336 songs across 152 albums, 93 studio sessions and 2,193 live shows.
Album of the week
American Gothic is the fourth EP by The Smashing Pumpkins. It was released in January 2008, with Billy Corgan describing it as a continuation of their 2007 album Zeitgeist. Corgan told the LA Times that the band had "finally turned the corner... where it's starting to feel like our music again, and not theirs, whoever 'they' might be," referring to the band's choice to continue making music without a record label. The EP contains four unreleased acoustic tracks recorded in the late 2007. Consequence of Sound wrote "If anything, Gothic is a step forward from Zeitgeist", while AllMusic said the EP "proves that the well-received Zeitgeist wasn't just a Corgan-fueled fluke".
Song of the day
"Drum + Fife" is the third single from The Smashing Pumpkins' ninth studio album Monuments to an Elegy. The track was premiered through NME on November 21, 2014. Corgan had originally written it as a folk song, but drummer Tommy Lee helped shift it into rock territory. The song was well-received by critics, with Consequence of Sound describing it as "a melodic, yet rallying rocker", and Corgan's vocals as "tenacious".
