Silverstein is a 5-piece post-hardcore band from Burlington, Ontario, Canada who formed in 2000 and currently consists of Paul Koehler, Josh Bradford, Billy Hamilton, Shane Told and Paul Marc Rousseau.
After the formation of the band in 2000, they worked through a number of line up changes before settling on a unit that they were content and confident with as a band. This happened to include an early fan who found their advertisement for a bass guitarist on an internet message board. By 2002 the band had signed to Victory Records and worked out a complete line up. Silverstein take influence from Green Day, The Promise Ring, Orchid, Gorilla Biscuits and more.
Their album releases have all been moderate commercial successes, their first LP 'When Broken Is Easily Fixed' entered the US Billboard Independent charts at #45 which was considered a great achievement for the new band. The follow-up 'Discovering The Waterfront' rocketed up the same chart to #3 and debuted at #34 on the US Billboard chart. The band continued on headline tours as well as supporting a number of artists on the road to promote their material and their name. The next release was 'Arrivals & Departures' which topped the independent charts and peaked at #25 on the US album charts, this remains their highest chart position to date.
In 2012 the band released an album entitled 'Short Songs' which featured a side of original material and a side of cover versions playing homage to some of their greatest inspirations such as The Promise Ring, Gob and Dead Kennedys. The band have always been known for an intense touring schedule to promote their latest releases, in 2014 they spent the majority of the summer on the road with stops at a number of festivals.
