CHIODOS BIO
Since their formation, CHIODOS have been focused on
creating something different while letting their diverse
influences shine through. Their resulting debut full
length is only definable as a melting pot of electronic
beats behind piano, metal guitar riffs and poppy melodic
vocal lines that leave you humming. Heavy and harsh
at one moment, beautiful and serene the next, seemingly
as a rule staying away from 'verse-chorus-verse' song
writing. Their debut EP was a raw effort of oddly
pieced musical ideas and bedroom recordings, however
it did not go unnoticed. Fans from their home state
of Michigan and beyond buzzed about the release, along
with praise of the band's explosive live performances.
Leading to what would eventually become 7 full U.S.
tours, thousands of CDs sold and countless enthusiastic
fans. Influenced by SAVES THE DAY, QUEEN, and AT THE
DRIVE IN, CHIODOS create a sound both intense and
versatile as they cross musical boundaries in every
song.
SILVERSTEIN BIO
One would be hard-pressed to come up with a more fitting
title for Silversteins new album than Arrivals &
Departures. After all, this Canadian band sold over
300,000 of their previous release, Discovering The
Waterfront, on the strength of word-of-mouth and a
nonstop touring schedule that saw them crisscrossing
the globe. The full-throated rock passion that pervades
all 11 songs on Arrivals & Departures emphatically
depicts a band that haswell, arrived. Silverstein
is about to depart the realm of grassroots phenomenon
to enter the stratosphere of critical mass success.
Its been a long, but thrilling trip for this quintet,
who came together in the Toronto suburb of Burlington,
Ontario at the turn of the millennium. After putting
out two of their own EPs, the band signed to Victory
Records and released When Broken Is Easily Fixed,
which raised eyebrows throughout North America as
sales climbed well past 200,000. Showing no ill effects
of any sophomore jinx, Silversteins follow-up Discovering
The Waterfront did considerably better; now total
Silverstein record sales are beyond a half-million.
The band fueled that momentum by performing on a slew
of major tours, from A Taste of Chaos and Warped in
the States to the Give It A Name and Download festivals
in England. They topped it all off with their first
headlining tour of Americathe sold-out Never Shave
Again tour.
