After the formation of the band in 2000, they worked through a number of line up changes before settling on a unit that they were content and confident with as a band. This happened to include an early fan who found their advertisement for a bass guitarist on an internet message board. By 2002 the band had signed to Victory Records and worked out a complete line up. Silverstein take influence from Green Day, The Promise Ring, Orchid, Gorilla Biscuits and more.
Their album releases have all been moderate commercial successes, their first LP 'When Broken Is Easily Fixed' entered the US Billboard Independent charts at #45 which was considered a great achievement for the new band. The follow-up 'Discovering The Waterfront' rocketed up the same chart to #3 and debuted at #34 on the US Billboard chart. The band continued on headline tours as well as supporting a number of artists on the road to promote their material and their name. The next release was 'Arrivals & Departures' which topped the independent charts and peaked at #25 on the US album charts, this remains their highest chart position to date.
In 2012 the band released an album entitled 'Short Songs' which featured a side of original material and a side of cover versions playing homage to some of their greatest inspirations such as The Promise Ring, Gob and Dead Kennedys. The band have always been known for an intense touring schedule to promote their latest releases, in 2014 they spent the majority of the summer on the road with stops at a number of festivals.
Like most bands, Story of the Year went through inevitable name changes and genre bending before finding the style that they were comfortable with, however transcended with the release of each album whilst maintaining fans.
They struck a deal signed to Maverick Records, and released their debut album “Page Avenue”, on September 16th 2003. The album peaked at number 51 in the Billboard 200 chart and featured the debut single “Until the Day I Die” which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Alternative Chart and number 62 on the UK Singles Chart. It also featured the songs “Anthem of Our Dying Day” which reached number 10 in the Billboard Alternative Chart. They concluded the campaign of “Page Avenue” with the release of “Sidewalks” an acoustic ballad that reached number 40. In 2005, they released a live album in their hometown of St. Louis called “Live in the Lou” which made it to 138 in the US Charts.
Next came the release of “We Don’t Care Anymore”, which would be the debut release of “In the Wake of Determination”, later released on October 11th 2005. It also peaked at number 38 on the Australian Chart too. They also released “Take Me Back” the following year, complete with a video.
“The Black Swan” was a notable departure from the major labels, as the band signed with Epitaph Records, and charted higher than they had before with album reach number 4 in the Billboard Alternative charts. It also reached number 18 in the Billboard 200, and 25 in Australia. Following their routine of touring international touring, the band, with their explosive and memorable live shows, would go back into the studio to record an album called “The Constant”. It peaked at number 42 on the Billboard 200.
Silverstein has their sound down to a formula. There is little fluctuation in their 10 + year spanning career, but that is okay. They know where their strong suits lie and have perfected it to the nth degree. That's not to say they have fallen into complacency. Rather they have developed a confidence and intimate understanding of the direction they want to take. Listening to their first album "When Broken Is Easily Fixed" to their latest "This is How the Wind Shifts" it is easy to detect that much of their ethos and style remains in tact; however a leap in production and overall "tightness" as a band can just as easily be detected.
They are group known for their work ethic and have frequented the touring circuit since their formation. This is apparent in the professionalism and precision of their live shows. It is amazing to see the band at work. Their coordination is unmatched as well as the amount of emotional output they invest in their performance.
Silverstein was one of the first bands I saw live and to tell the truth I was a bit nervous to go. I thought I would get mangled in one of the mosh pits that so frequently erupts at their shows. I wasn't too far from being wrong. As they opened with "Smashed In to Pieces" the crowd turned into a frenzy blur, which persisted through out the show and ended with my brother passing out after "My Heart Bleeds No More" probably due to over-exhaustion, but it could have also been because he got punched in the face.
Next time I saw them the show was just as frenetic if not more. It was almost impossible to keep track of all that was going on in the venue. I was absolutely mesmerized by the sheer dexterity of drummer Paul Koehler. It was as if he was programmed before each show never to miss a beat. But my concentration on one member soon shifted to the next as the show progressed. It was hard to ignore the bass player Billy especially when he was playing his instrument while crowding surfing among the hord of people and Shane is without a doubt one of the best frontmen in the post hardcore scene.
Though Silverstein stays true to their post-hardcore/emo roots their setlist is peppered with a few pop songs such as "Still Dreaming" and even unexpected covers like a screamo rendition of the Beatles' "Help". Maybe if you pay close enough attention you might even catch one of their 6 second covers from "Short Songs".

Story of the Year is a awesome punk rock band from St. Louis, Missouri and they don't waste any time bringing on the jaw-dropping intensity. Ferociously hard drum beats and heavy guitar riffs deliver an onslaught of dark emocore goodness.
The venue is packed with raucous fans as lead singer Dan Marsala shouts for everyone to get up off the ground and make some noise. They oblige. The music slows sometimes and becomes emotional and melodic for just a moment before swinging violently back into an energetic scream. The crowd, full of diehard fans explodes, jumping up and down and waving their hands in the air. I can tell that the band loves it.
They live for this stuff. The lead singer works the crowd up into an ecstatic frenzy. He seems to go from talking to them like an old friend to raging around the stage, wildly singing, doing flips, just tearing the house down in general. Just when you think they are done they launch straight into "Until the Day I Die", followed soon with "Anthem of Our Dying Day". I never get bored of hearing those songs live, they get me bouncing off the walls every time.
