Silverstein are set to release their new album on March 31st. Alternative Press has the exclusive studio update from the band where you can hear how the recording process is going, and get a sneak peek behind-the-scenes at Metal Works in Canada. Check out the video below.
Silverstein’s cover of “Apologize” by One Republic is now posted to the Punk Goes Pop 2 MySpace! The next song premiere from Punk Goes Pop 2 will be on January 27th. Check out what vocalist Shane Told had to say about being on the compilation:
“We are super excited to be a part of Punk Goes Pop 2. We had a blast recording “Red Light Pledge” for the Punk Goes Acoustic 2 so we jumped at the chance to record a song for this one.
The interesting thing is that even though we’ve been a band for 9 years, we’ve never really done any covers. The only one we did was a cover of Lifetime’s “Rodeo Clown” for a tribute album that never came out. Most bands start out doing some covers before they write their own songs, but we jumped right into originals.
When we had to choose a song, there was a million we talked about doing, but we all agreed that “Apologize” would be rad. It was a song we all secretly rocked out to, a total guilty pleasure. It’s super catchy, it’s the kind of song you hear once and it’s instantly stuck in your head. I also met One Republic one time and they were really nice. I hope they don’t think we ruined their song :).
I’m super excited to hear what our friends bands have done, especially Bayside and A Day To Remember. I can’t wait to get this CD in my hands.
We had so much fun recording this that we decided to do some other covers as well. We’re almost done recording our new album and we’re going to have some B-Side cover songs as well. Check that out on March 31st!
Peace and Love,
Shane // Silverstein
Silverstein has announced a release date of March 31, 2009 for their next album.
When we made Discovering the Waterfront there was something so special about the process. We’ve made the last 3 records essentially the same way. The process was get in a room, jam it out and let it come out how it comes out. This time we’ve decided to switch it up and write an entire album instead of just a collection of songs. We’re considering the flow between songs and transitions a lot more, and lyrically this record will tell a story. It will be a concept album.
Immortal Records artist Scary Kids Scaring Kids has been officially added to the KFMA Fall Ball 2007 in Tucson, AZ. The band will be playing alongside artists The Smashing Pumpkins, Cypress Hill, Against Me, Paramore and Silverstein. The show will be hosted at the Tucson Electric Park on September 16th.
Victory Records will be releasing five more titles on limited-edition colored vinyl on Tuesday, August 14th, 2007. The label will be pressing Silverstein‘s newest release, Arrivals & Departures, and Darkest Hour‘s newest release, Deliver Us, on colored wax. The other three releases include a reissue of the 2002 breakthrough debut from Taking Back Sunday, Tell All Your Friends, as well as a new pressing of Blood For Blood‘s classic, Revenge On Society. The fifth title is a special, combined 12 of Earth Crisis‘ first Victory EPs, Firestorm and All Out War.
Once again, two different colors of vinyl will be available for each title at your local record shop, but a limited run of 200 copies of a special color will only be available from the Victory Records webstore. Pre-orders will begin during the first week of August.
