I've been listening to podcasts for the better part of two years (late to the game, I know). It all started when I heard that Maynard James Keenan was gonna be on WTF with Marc Maron. From there, I branched out into The Nerdist, The Joe Rogan Experience, Pointless: With Kevin Pereira before eventually launching my own podcast. Enough about me, I wanna highlight some newer and better podcasts I've been getting into lately.
Silverstein's influential album, Discovering The Waterfront turns 10 this year. The band is currently doing a highly successful anniversary tour of the record. We have commentary on the album from Shane Told himself. Enjoy the read and let us know your thoughts on Discovering The Waterfront ten years later.
Silverstein is a Canadian rock band from Burlington, Ontario, formed in 2000. They’ve become as close to a household name as you can get in the post-hardcore scene. Past episodes can be found here.

An Eye For An Eye upholds Like Moths To Flames’ notoriously aggressive energy while revealing the band’s most exciting and heavy-hitting work to date. The new album showcases maturing song structures leading with sleek guitar melodies rolling into robust riffs that compliment Roetter’s signature raw textured vocals and merciless lyrics. Guest vocalists Shane Told of Silverstein on “Into The Ground” and Ahren Stringer of The Amity Affliction on “Lord of Bones” also add to the evolving dynamic of the album that sets it apart from previous releases.
The much-anticipated follow-up to the band’s 2011 debut When We Don’t Exist was once again recorded at Machine Shop Productions in Belleville, NJ with producer Will Putney (Miss May I, For Today, Suicide Silence)

Well here it is, Silverstein’s new album “This is How the Wind Shifts.” This Canadian post-hardcore band has really out done themselves, even with their acoustics. This is definitely an album that Hopeless Records should be proud of. Even with their new lead guitarist, Paul-Marc Rousseau this album is a must listen. I would also like to thank Jordan Valeriote for producing such a great album. With this being Silverstein’s seventh studio album, I must say this album has to be my favorite.
From the clean vocals, into screams, to sick break downs, there’s no doubt that this album should be what Silverstein fans are listening to and begging to hear from them while they are on tour with guests, Issues, Glass Cloud, Secrets, and Like Moths to Flames. Silverstein’s front man, Shane Told said that the concept of this album is much like the one they released in 2009. (A Shipwreck in the Sand) This album contains fourteen new, ground breaking songs with a new sound that would please any Silverstein fan. On a scale of 10, this album gets a 9.5, I don’t see anything that this band could have done to further improve this album.
