Silverstein歌手简介:
此乐队两千年的时候成立在Burlington, Ontario,,实际上就在TORONTO的近郊一个小地方,PLAY很鲜明的EMO/HARDCORE风格.后来他们经朋友的介绍和VICTORY RECORDS签了约,在签约后不久,就出了第一张专集WHEN BROKEN IS EASILY FIXED,瞬间在全球销量超过200,000张.并给SILVERSTEIN赢得了在Alternative Press' 100 Bands You Need To Know in the spring of 2005中的一席之地~
　　之后SIVERSTEIN就开始了很长很长的巡演,(与HH,FALL OUT BOYS这样的乐队一起)并培养了很多铁杆乐迷,很多他们的FANS用一种他们的机器人文身来表达对他们的支持(偶个人理解就是第一张专集封面上的那个...)
　　而且,在巡演的过程中,他们并没有发起继续写歌.他们后来在CA遇到了后来的PRODUCER,Cameron Webb,他可以说是他们第二张专集创作过程中灵魂似的人物,(很有名的PRODUCER,BEN FOLDS FIVE的制作人~)在WEBB的监督下,他们在CA呆了很长一段时间,去完成第二张专集的写作和RECORDING, "I was completely alone when I did most of the vocal tracks and I think the focus I was able to achieve was really important"TOLD回忆他们的写作过程时候说道.
　　在第二张专集的录制过程中,整个乐队都相当努力.且当时有个叫Martin Wittfooth 的家伙为他们画画,把他们的创作概念转化成锋利的可见的东西~
　　再接下来,就是单曲,SMILE IN UR SLEEP的出现,想当然啦,自然引起很大凡响.再来,就是被更多人所熟悉的专集DICOVERING THE WATERFRONT
Silverstein formed in Ontario, Canada, in 2000 as a side project for vocalist Shane Told, guitarist Josh Bradford, drummer Paul Koehler, guitarist Richard McWalter, and bassist Bill Hamilton. But after diving into the thriving Ontario hardcore/emo scene, which also included bands like Moneen and Grade, Silverstein soon found an audience for their particular brand of shimmering, hot-blooded post-hardcore. Their 2000 self-released EP Summers Stellar Gaze was quite well received, and soon Silverstein became the full-time project of its members. After a lineup change that saw McWalter being replaced by ex-Maharahj guitar player Neil Boshart, the band began to tour the eastern provinces of Canada in earnest.
They next released a second EP in April 2002 entitled When the Shadows Beam. The record sparked the interest of Victory Records honcho Tony Brummel, who signed the group to his respected Chicago imprint in October of that same year. When Broken Is Easily Fixed, Silversteins full-length Victory debut, appeared in May 2003; a re-release of the album was issued a year later with bonus tracks and a DVD. As Silverstein spent summer 2005 playing on the Warped Tour, their follow-up, Discovering the Waterfront, came out that August. Silverstein also appeared on the 2006 Take Action Tour alongside Matchbook Romance, Chidos, the Early November, and more. 18 Candles: The Early Years appeared in May; the 18-track compilation album included reissues of the bands first two independently released EPs alongside several live and acoustic tracks, extensive liner notes, and rare band photos. Victory then issued a special edition of Discovering the Waterfront in fall 2006 with a bonus live DVD, new artwork, and an additional track.
After coming off tour, Silverstein started work with producer Mark Trombino, who had previously worked with Jimmy Eat World and blink-182. The title of the record, Arrivals & Departures, pertained to the maintenance of personal relationships while on the road, and involved more emotionally charged lyrics, inspired by the end of Tolds seven-year relationship just before returning to the studio.
