SILVERSTEIN
RESCUE AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2012
WITH SKYWAY & GUESTS
SILVERSTEIN TO TOUR AUSTRALIA THIS JUNE

SIlverstein return to our shores this June to debut tracks off 2011's critically
acclaimed long player RESCUE (Hopeless Records) and the aptly titled SHORT
SONGS (Hopeless Records) to their Australian fans.
Australian audiences were given their first taste of Silverstein in 2005 with a
whirlwind tour of five cities in as many days. Silverstein maintained the demanding
pace, returning several times to continue building on their loyal Aussie fanbase with
unwavering live performances in between American and European tour and festival
dates. Their 2006 Australian tour sold out, proving Silverstein had well and truly
become a crowd favourite. From here they went on to headline the Boys Of Summer
tour in 2008. In a reflection of the longevity of their sound, the hardworking quintet
most recently appeared on the national Soundwave tour, playing to thousands of
fans in each city and converting as many more. Fans new and old alike will revel in
the news of the forthcoming Rescue Australian Tour, which will showcase the band's
high energy emotive live show in more intimate club sized settings.
After more than a decade together, the quintet approached their two most recent
releases differently to their earlier efforts. Eager to break from the workman like
album / tour / album / tour grind that produced four records in six years, Silverstein
wrote Rescue over the course of a full year, which was a first for the band. The result
is a definitive work, an album that summarises the best of their past while looking
decidedly forward to the future.
Consisting of twenty-two songs under 90 seconds each, the Short Songs project
showcases two different "sides" of the Toronto-based hardcore band: Side A consists
of eleven originals and Side B is comprised of covers of punk songs that the band
has always held in high esteem, including tracks from NOFX, Green Day,
Descendents and Gob. Drummer and founding member Paul Koehler explains "Short
Songs is an extension of Rescue and a further channeling of our influences in our
own material. We're writing the music that we like and get to showcase it in this
creative way." "This is definitely a passion project," concludes Paul about Short
Songs, "and it's definitely one that has been an incredible amount of fun to put
together."
Witness exactly what's inspired the rave reviews and converted fans by the dozens
across Australia this June. Gold Coast pop punks Skyway join Silverstein on tour as
main support.
