Silverstein is a Canadian post-hardcore band that burst onto the music scene in the early 2000s. Formed in Burlington, Ontario, in 2000, the band is named after the famous children's author Shel Silverstein, yet their sound is a far cry from children's poetry. The group comprises lead vocalist Shane Told, guitarists Josh Bradford and Paul Marc Rousseau, bassist Billy Hamilton, and drummer Paul Koehler. Known for their emotive and energetic performances, Silverstein has established a solid reputation within the punk and emo scenes, resonating with a generation of fans seeking both melody and intensity in their music.

Over more than two decades, Silverstein has remained remarkably consistent and prolific, crafting a rich discography that blends post-hardcore aggression with melodic sensibility. Recent releases, such as "Misery Made Me" and its deluxe edition, showcase the band's ability to evolve while adhering to the signature sound that they have refined over the years. Songs like "Die Alone," "Bankrupt," and "Enemy" (featuring vocals from Shane Told himself) further exemplify the band's talent for creating anthemic and dynamic music that continues to earn them a dedicated following worldwide. Their continued collaboration with artists across genres, as seen in "THIRST4VIOLENCE" with Freddie Dredd, illustrates their versatility and willingness to explore new musical territories while remaining true to their roots.
