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.
