Album of the Month - February 2013 (Ross)

Silverstein

Album: This is how the Wind Shifts

Genre: Post-Hardcore

Location: Ontario, Canada

Preview: On Brave Mountains we Conquer

This is proof that these guys can still rock.  Founded over a decade ago, Silverstein has now released 7 albums.  "This is how the Wind Shifts" does not betray the sound they have had and has reawakened my love for this band.  This comment is already too long, go check it out, oh and get the deluxe so you get the acoustics.

Even if you were not a fan of their EP, you should still check this out.  This band has improved greatly since their EP, which is saying a lot.  Act fast to buy lots of nifty stuff from the band, including music lessons and their singers performing as guest vocals in your band.

Also, I normally try to link the song that best describes the entire album, I added "I've had This Dream Before" as well so you could hear how world peace sounds.

This was Bailey's album of the month for January (the post is right here) and I noticed we didn't have a download..

These guys show a lot of potential and are definitely worth checking out.
