**Silverbullit** is a [Swedish](/source/Sweden) rock band based in [Gothenburg](/source/Gothenburg).

## History

Formed in 1995 under the name "Silverbullet", which was changed after a conflict over the rights for the name. They are known under the name **Citizen Bird** in the US, and toured under that name and released their album *Citizen Bird* as a "self-titled" LP there in order to avoid [trademark](/source/Trademark) confusion with an American rapper.[1] The band plays synth-influenced rock music. Amongst others, sources of inspiration are [DAF](/source/Deutsch_Amerikanische_Freundschaft), [Depeche Mode](/source/Depeche_Mode), [New Order](/source/New_Order_(band)) and [The Stooges](/source/The_Stooges), as well as [video game music](/source/Video_game_music). The group was nominated for a [Grammis](/source/Grammis) for Best Rock Act.[2] Their album *Arclight* was announced to be the best Swedish album of 2004 by a vote of music reviewers.,[3] but have not yet made a real popular break-through.

They have done numerous festival gigs and have also toured together with [The Soundtrack of Our Lives](/source/The_Soundtrack_of_Our_Lives), to whom they are sometimes compared.[4] Lead singer Simon Ohlsson is usually very wild and erratic on stage and several performances have gone awry. For example, early in the band's career, a gig in [Varberg](/source/Varberg) ended with Simon being dragged away by police who thought he was on drugs; and at [Rookiefestivalen](/source/Rookiefestivalen) 2004 he jumped out into the sparse crowd and was thrown out from the venue by a security guard, while the rest of the band kept playing.
