Smashing Pumpkins: Underworld, London
Ngaire Ruth, Melody Maker, 21 September 1991
AMERICAN bands are popular because they come over here and kick serious ass. Smashing Pumpkins are from Chicago and they prove more than our expectations (a combination of Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Levitation and that Sub-poppy thang). Imagine Soundgarden fronted by a Morrison/Bolan, if it's not too much for your senses.
