Canadian rock band, Silverstein, recently announced their re-scheduled North American tour dates celebrating the 20th anniversary of the band’s formation, initially announced last October, that were postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. The announcement, which came this past Tuesday, March 17, confirm the dates have been moved to July and August of this year. According to a press release, the forthcoming North American tour, ” … will still include support from Four Year Strong and I The Mighty. All existing tickets and VIP upgrades will be honored on the new dates. In celebration of their new album, A Beautiful Place To Drown, and their 20th anniversary Silverstein will be performing three sets each night: a career-spanning batch of fan favorites, a stripped-down acoustic section, and their seminal 2005 full-length, Discovering The Waterfront, in full.”
For the Burlington, Ontario-based emo/post hardcore rock band, Silverstein, to reassure fans of their commitment to press on with the tour, especially during these trying times, speaks volumes to the band’s resilience. Silverstein’s five piece band is comprised of frontman Shane Told (lead vocals), Josh Bradford (rhythm guitar), Billy Hamilton (bass), Paul Marc Rousseau (lead guitar) and Paul Koehler (drums). As previously noted in the aforementioned press release, in a statement Silverstein spoke collectively saying:
“To our loyal fans of 20 years: thank you for all of your support. We appreciate your patience regarding the postponed dates and are pleased to announce that everything has been rescheduled for July and August. We look forward to continuing the 20th anniversary celebration and performing the three sets that we’ve put together for you. Four Year Strong and I The Mighty will rejoin us for these shows and we are so glad they could make themselves available. See you very soon, and until then, stay safe!”
The collectives latest musical offering, A Beautiful Place To Drown, is Silverstein’s 10th full length studio album and was released via UNFD. The eclectic features, which includes New York-based rapper Princess Nokia, Tampa, Florida-based rock band Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie and fellow Canadian-based band Simple Plan’s frontman Pierre Bouvier, showcases the varying musical spectrums Silverstein embraces on the album. As previously reported here on mxdwn, Silverstein frontman Told spoke of the collaboration with Princess Nokia saying, “‘We’d seen Princess Nokia mention that she was a fan of ours and we had a chance to hang out last time we were in NYC, and just hit it off,’ Told said. ‘Madness’ was one of the early songs we had musically, and it kept evolving until we knew it needed a strong female voice on it to put it over the top.’”
