Acclaimed Canadian post-hardcore band Silverstein is excited to share their visceral new single ‘Skin & Bones,’ out now via UNFD. Along with the song – the band’s first release of 2024.
“‘Skin & Bones’ is a deeply emotional song, written about the sudden loss of a person who was once very close to me,” shares vocalist Shane Told. “Everyday we’re stuck in our own heads worrying about trivial things and never thinking about just how fragile we are. Life can be gone in an instant. I lost one of the greatest people I ever knew.”
He continues: “Recording out in Joshua Tree, in the middle of the desert, made it feel like we were starting with a totally blank canvas. Without external distractions, I found myself turning my attention inward. How did I really feel? What did I really want to say about it? And once I found that, the performance just poured out of me. Talking, singing, yelling, screaming…it’s all raw emotion in this track.”
Adds drummer Paul Koehler: “Earlier this year we ventured out to Joshua Tree, hiding away for several weeks and working intensely on our first batch of new music in 3 years. ‘Skin & Bones’ is packed with heavy emotions and is the first glimpse of what formed in those sessions.”
Fans can catch Silverstein live this fall at Is For Lovers Festival in Cincinnati, OH, as well as at Furnace Fest in Princeton, AL and When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas, NV. The band will also be performing in New York City on the Liberty Belle Concert Cruise this September.
