Silverstein at Royal Oak Music Theater
Silverstein brought an electrifying performance to Royal Oak Music Theatre, delivering a set that balanced their signature post-hardcore aggression with moments of heartfelt emotion. The band's energy was relentless, with frontman Shane Told's vocals cutting through the mix of crushing guitars and soaring melodies. The setlist covered everything from early 2000s classics to newer material, proving that Silverstein has remained both relevant and dynamic over the years. The crowd was fully engaged, screaming along to every word, especially during anthems like My Heroine and Smile in Your Sleep. Check Out their new song below. “Don’t Let Me Get Too Low” is taken from the band’s forthcoming album Antibloom, the first part of their prolific double album Antibloom / Pink Moon. The records were written in the deserts of Joshua Tree and represent the band’s most eclectic and prolific body of work to date. Antibloom will see its release on February 21st, 2025 via UNFD, with Pink Moon to follow later in the year. Pre-orders for Antibloom are available now at https://lnk.to/antibloom.
