Their fantastic blend of heart songs and hard rock provided the soundtrack to the lives of many young poetry lovers and rage filled misfit youth alike. Recently, Smashing Pumpkins founder, vocalist and songwriter Billy Corgan teased an upcoming tour, sending many 30 somethings searching for their old Zero shirts and silver pants. The new “Plainsong” tour will feature softer versions of some of the band’s harder songs. Corgan also announced that he is working on a road documentary centered on the everyday American.
