Silverstein joins Hopeless Records

Leave a comment

Canada’s Silverstein have joined Hopeless Records. The post-hardcore outfit left Victory Records in October after four studio albums, a rarities compilation and a live album. The band will make their debut with a new EP, appropriately titled Transitions. It will street on December 7, 2010 and feature three songs, an acoustic version of “Replace You” and a cover of Nine Inch Nail’s “Wish” from their Broken EP.

They commented on the signing:

We have signed to Hopeless Records! We have been huge fans of the label since their inception and they have become great friends of ours over the years. It is great to work with people who not only get what we do and still embrace the scene, but also actually helped create it. After talking to many labels, we felt we would be the most at home here with Louis, and the entire Hopeless Records staff.

They last released Shipwreck in the Sand.
