Silverstein and Valeriote have worked together on previous projects including This is How the Wind Shifts, Short Songs, and Transitions EP. On signing to Rise Records, Shane Told (vocals) said "Craig Ericson (Rise founder and president) and I have been friends for years, and despite never actually working together until now, we have had an amazing mutual respect. When it was time to find a home for the next album, Rise seemed like the perfect choice." Paul Koehler (drums) added "Rise understands how we grew up in an ethics first hardcore/punk scene and how important that is to us. At the same time they have done an amazing job growing the scene and bringing underground music to the masses. We are excited to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of our band next year with a release on Rise Records." Formed in 2000 in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, Silverstein has become as close to a household name as you can get in the post-hardcore scene.
