此樂隊兩千年的時候成立在Burlington, Ontario,,實際上就在TORONTO的近郊一個小地方,PLAY很鮮明的EMO/HARDCORE風格.后來他們經(jīng)朋友的介紹和VICTORY RECORDS簽了約,在簽約后不久,就出了第一張專集WHEN BROKEN IS EASILY FIXED,瞬間在全球銷量超過200,000張.并給SILVERSTEIN贏得了在Alternative Press' 100 Bands You Need To Know in the spring of 2005中的一席之地~ 　　之后SIVERSTEIN就開始了很長很長的巡演,(與HH,FALL OUT BOYS這樣的樂隊一起)并培養(yǎng)了很多鐵桿樂迷,很多他們的FANS用一種他們的機器人文身來表達對他們的支持(偶個人理解就是第一張專集封面上的那個...) 　　而且,在巡演的過程中,他們并沒有發(fā)起繼續(xù)寫歌.他們后來在CA遇到了后來的PRODUCER,Cameron Webb,他可以說是他們第二張專集創(chuàng)作過程中靈魂似的人物,(很有名的PRODUCER,BEN FOLDS FIVE的制作人~)在WEBB的監(jiān)督下,他們在CA呆了很長一段時間,去完成第二張專集的寫作和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回憶他們的寫作過程時候說道. 　　在第二張專集的錄制過程中,整個樂隊都相當努力.且當時有個叫Martin Wittfooth 的家伙為他們畫畫,把他們的創(chuàng)作概念轉(zhuǎn)化成鋒利的可見的東西~ 　　再接下來,就是單曲,SMILE IN UR SLEEP的出現(xiàn),想當然啦,自然引起很大凡響.再來,就是被更多人所熟悉的專集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. 更多>>
