Some say years as a touring band are sped up with all the experiences happening so fast that just a few years on the road can seem like a decade. It can be over whelming or exhilarating, or both depending on one perspective.

In Silverstein's new album "Discovering The Waterfront" perspective pays an important role. It's a central theme in songs that explore self-determination and coping with change. From the opening track "Your Sword Vs. My Dagger" to "My Herione", vocalist Shane Todd is beyond candid as he tells stories of obsession, hopelessness and redemption. The music is flawless executed with powerful instrumentation and melodic and raw vocals.

Silverstein formed in Burlington, Ontario in 2000. Emerging from the hardcore scene the band began honing their sound. a former member of "Grade" started talking the band up to his friends at Victory Records whom they signed with shortly after. They released "When Broken is Easily Fixed" which sold over 200,000 copies which earned the band a spot on Alterative Press' "100 Bands You Need To Know" in the spring of 2005.

Non-stop touring followed and Silverstein became one of the most talked about bands on the Hardcore/Emo scene. Many fans responded with tattoos of their distinctive robot artwork, which is a permanent display of their devotion. Despite an Almost canstant touring schedule with bands liek Hawthorne Heights and Fall Out Boy, they still continued to write and create drawling from their lives and the ones around them. What sets their songs apart from others is their passionate and muscular delivery.

The album was recorded in part at one of the most recognized studios in the country, Capitol Records in Hollywood. The number of huge bands that have walked through those doors is ridiculous. During hte recording the band was working hard on the packaging with artist Martin Wittfooth.

With the heavy lifting of recording and packaging wrapped up, a video for the first single "Smile in Your Sleep" is a dark song about jealousy, deception, and ultimately murder. The director for the video came up with the Clue concept and it gave them a chance to have a little fun with the video. Each of them wears the colors of the characters, there are all the weapons, and of course, there is a butler. Silverstein will spend summer 2005 playing Warped Tour. Silverstein also consists of Neil Boshart,
Bill Hamilton, Shane Told, Paul Koehler, and Josh Bradford.
