Shane says, “This project has been a long time in the making. For 15 years I have been the singer, a songwriter and occasional guitar player for Silverstein. I have loved every minute as a lead singer, but I wanted to do something on the side all by myself.”

“I wrote and played all the parts on these songs, vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, and even drums. I poured every ounce of my heart and soul into these songs. This 7″ EP is just the start. Where the project grows from here will be a forthcoming journey I am extremely excited about.”

Burlington, Ontario’s Silverstein signed to Rise Records in 2014 and released its 8th studio album, ‘I Am Alive In Everything I Touch’ in 2015, which marked the band’s fifteenth anniversary since forming in 2000. The band has been nominated for a Juno Award and has landed on the Billboard Top 200 charts, selling over 1,000,000 albums worldwide along the way.
