Artist:Silverstein
Song:Discovering the Waterfront
Album:Discovering the Waterfront
The 2005 album Discovering the Waterfront is the biggest seller to date by the Canadian band Silverstein. Their music is post hardcore emo. It is sometimes called screamo because of the vocals. Silverstein is from Burlington, ON. The original members were Shane Told on lead vocals and bass, Richard McWalter on lead guitar, Josh Bradford on rhythm guitar and Paul Koehler on drums. The band name is because they are admirers of children's author and songwriter Shel Silverstein. When Told decided to concentrate on vocals, Billy Hamilton was brought in to play bass. Then McWalter moved to Victoria, BC and Told brought in childhood friend Neil Boshart. Told and Boshart wrote most of the songs. Silverstein released a couple of EPs and that got them a record deal with Victory Records. Their debut album When Broken Is Easily Fixed was released in 2003. Discovering the Waterfront was their second album in 2005. This began a long relationship with producer Cameron Webb. They seemed to soften their sound and that helped record sales. They also started working more high profile shows like Varped Vans. And they were nominated for a Best New Band Juno award. The constant touring continued. Silverstein recorded four albums for Victory. Since then they have recorded for Hopeless, Rise and currently the Australian label UNFD. When Told and Boshart weren't getting along in 2013, Paul Marc Rousseau was brought in to replace Boshart. They released their latest album in May and they have been on tour to support it. Here's the video for Discovering the Waterfront by Silverstein.
