Silverstein-Discovering The Waterfront

Monday, February 18, 2008


When a band combines hardcore,power-pop and rock,the results can be pretty tedious,not because the combination is a bad one but its just what everyone seems to be doing these days.Importantly Silverstein keep the screaming to a tasteful minimum,using it as a spice rather than as a main ingredient.They ensure that the screaming actually carries emotional meaning.Equally importantly,they deliver their beautiful melodies and tight rich harmonies very well.The odd metered guitar breaks are few and brief which keeps them interesting and enjoyable as well.The result is Power-pop for the new millenium and a remarkably mature sound for a band that has only been together for a few years.Every track is well worth hearing but the tracks that will make you press the repeat button are "Call it Karma" with its blissful guitar solo,"My Heroine","The Ides Of March" and "Discovering The Waterfront".
