SILVERSTEIN (Feb 25th!) - In support of PETA
for immediate release:
With influences ranging from The Get Up Kids to Grade, Mineral to Cave-In, and even Pedro the Lion to Slayer, Silverstein is a true mix of everything at once. The powerful melodic singing and gut wrenching screaming of vocalist Shane Told evokes the pain, struggle and emotion of the lyrics, which represent true feelings of heartbreak and frustration. Silverstein finds a way to keep the music unique and interesting, but always catchy. Bringing a violin into the mix, and adding 6/8 meter melodic parts to screaming breakdowns help to achieve this. The sound is reinforced by the creativity of drummer Paul Koelher and the energetic playing of bassist Bill Hamilton. The shimmering clean, and singing distorted guitars of Boshart, and Josh Bradford complete the lineup, and capture the listener with their harmony and power.
SILVERSTEIN tour promoting PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals):
It's no secret Silverstein and PETA are buddies.
Not only have the guys participated in PSAs for the animal rights group, they also threw down an eating challeng with KFC's vegan faux chicken sandwiches when the restaurant first offered them. Band member Shane Told recently explained how he and the other Silverstein musicians got acquainted with PETA. "Our whole band is vegetarian. We just happen to all be vegetarians. We didn't come together, it just happened. It wasn't something that our band was fueled by; it was just something that we all had in common. I was talking to PETA while they were at a show and I mentioned that we were all vegetarians, they thought that was very rare. They really wanted to work with us so they contacted us. They wanted us to get involved. We don't mind spreading the word, it's important to have a table with some information at the shows. That's how I learned about it originally from going to hard-core shows and seeing their table that explains about fur and vegetarianism, helping people understand it. That's how it came about."
