Silverstein released a brand new single and music video today, titled “Live Like This,” featuring the emo hip-hop artist nothing,nowhere. The single releases in time for their new album, Misery Made Me, which is set to release this Friday.
“There came a point when I was somewhere between pessimistic and numb. Something needed to change but I didn’t know where to turn.” Silverstein guitarist Paul Marc said of the single in a press release, which he also revealed was written and recorded during the COVID-19 lockdown.
“It felt like the only way to work through the s*** was to hit rock bottom and dig a little deeper to find some hope,” Marc also said about writing and recording during the quarantine, per the press release
Lead singer Shane Told discussed the message behind the band’s new single.
“I don’t wanna die, but I can’t live like this’ – the lyric says it all,” Told said, per the press release. “Living through an unimaginable time we all faced some of the darkest feelings of our lives. The uncertainty, the anxiety, it was crippling. Bringing in another voice was important for this song to show its universal meaning. Joe (nothing,nowhere.) is from a different country, a different upbringing, a different age group, but his voice resonates just as loud as mine.”
The featured artist, nothing,nowhere., discussed collaborating with Silverstein in the press release.
“Silverstein has always been one of my favorite bands. Shane’s vocals inspired me when I first started singing as a kid, so I knew I had to get on this track,” the emo hi-hop artist said.
The band also announced a co-headlining summer tour with The Amity Affliction. The locations and dates are below.
