Silverstein – Dead Reflection


Dependability is an overlooked trait in music. As exciting as innovation is, bands can prove just as important and special with few surprises in their sound; cliché perhaps to say, but AC/DC are case in point. Over an eight-album career, Silverstein are another example of a band with a reliable but recognisable sound throughout, their brand of emotive post-hardcore always maintaining a youthful vibrancy and intensity. Latest album Dead Reflection (Rise Records) follows this trend for the most part, and even reveals a couple of new tricks up their sleeve.Continue reading

On The Road… with Senses Fail


Senses Fail Silverstein Hundreth Capsize tour dates

Senses Fail just put the cap on a terrific 2015! they reunited as a band, put out a cool new album Pull The Thorns From Your Heart (Pure Noise Records) and headlined The Warped Tour. When you do all that, what do you do for an encore? Go out and slay venues all over the world of course! The band spent the last half of the fall co-headlining with another seminal post-hardcore/screamo band, Silverstein. Each band has had a similar career trajectory and much in common (huge followings, Warped Tour alums) so touring together made sense. Bringing along hardcore heads like Hundredth and Capsize (not pictured) this was a slick bill that played to many full houses with tons of passionate fans moshing, screaming a long, and having a ball. Meg Loyal of Meg Loyal Photography caught the tour at one of Ghost Cult’s favorite venues, The Worcester Palladium. Keep going out there and supporting these bands in 2016 and you might just be rewarded when your favorite band reunites and comes to your town for a show!

My Vans Warped Tour Memory: Silverstein

Canadian post hardcore outfit Silverstein are venturing on the Vans Warped Tour for their sixth time. Vocalist Shane Told shares his first ever experience on the tour and what he’s learned from that experience:

“I said we’ve done it…how many times did I say we’ve done it – six? We’ve done it seven because technically we did one show in 2003. It was the first time we’d ever played Warped Tour. We showed up and they were trying to get this hardcore stage going. It was in Massachusetts and we showed up and we didn’t have a tent. We didn’t have anything. We didn’t have a table. We just rolled in and set up our merch on the ground. We totally didn’t know what we were getting into.”

“We all got sunburnt. We all went in completely unprepared and the difference between that and this year where we bought a $300 cooler and we have a barbecue and have all of these tents. We bought 11 high end lounge chairs. Now we’ve got it all figured out. It’s funny how things change so radically.”

“It’s funny because when we started out, I always thought we were the young guns. We made friends with NOFX and playing poker with those guys. We were always the young kids and then all of a sudden now we’re the old guys. I don’t know when that happened. There was never a point where we felt we were the average age. Now we’re the old guys. I don’t know when that happened but it’s all good.”
