Silverstein (/ˈsɪl.vər.stiːn/) is a Canadian post-hardcore band from Burlington, Ontario, formed in 2000. Their band name is a reference to the famous children's author Shel Silverstein, who the band had admired and whose work they had read as children.[1] They have released a total of 11 studio albums, seven EPs, a compilation album and a live DVD/CD.
The band achieved moderate success with their second studio album, Discovering the Waterfront, which was nominated for a Juno Award and reached No. 34 on the Billboard 200 charts, with the following two albums charting at similar positions.[2] Silverstein has sold over one million albums worldwide.[3]
Silverstein's lineup remained unchanged from December 2001 to September 2012, then consisting of lead vocalist Shane Told, lead guitarist Neil Boshart, rhythm guitarist Josh Bradford, bassist Billy Hamilton, and drummer Paul Koehler. In September 2012, the band had announced that Neil Boshart had been fired and replaced by Paul Marc Rousseau, who also joined Billy Hamilton on backing vocals.
The band left long-time record label Victory Records in 2010. Following a period with Hopeless Records[4][5] and another with Rise Records, they are now signed to UNFD. The band released their tenth studio album, A Beautiful Place to Drown, in March 2020.[6] This was nominated for a 2021 Juno award in the "Best Rock Album" category. Misery Made Me, the band's eleventh studio album, was released on May 6, 2022.
