Grammy® Award-winning, acclaimed alternative rock luminaries, The Smashing Pumpkins have dropped “Solara”, the first recording in over 18 years to feature founding members Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin and longtime Smashing Pumpkins guitarist, Jeff Schroeder.
Recorded in Malibu, CA at Shangri La Studios with producer Rick Rubin, “Solara” is available now to stream and download on all digital music platforms via Martha’s Music under license to Napalm Records. “Solara” also made its network television debut this week on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
This year The Smashing Pumpkins will embark on the Shiny And Oh So Bright Arena Tour including a brand new UK date in London at The SSE Arena, Wembley on 16th October. The tour is the band’s first in nearly 20 years to feature founding members Corgan, Chamberlin, and Iha.
