Song: "I Knew I Couldn't Trust You"
Artist: Silverstein
Album: "A Shipwreck In The Sand"
Year: 2009
Place Of Origin: Burlington, Ontario, Canada
Years Active: 2000 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"A Shipwreck In The Sand" is a concept album so each song is a continuation of the whole story. Without getting into the whole story, "I Knew I Couldn't Trust You" is the story of two friends who've known each other since they were kids. One of them finds out that his friend has been having an affair with his wife. The friend who is having the affair can't bear to tell his friend, not knowing that he already knows what's going on with him and his wife. It's finding out that what you thought was your best friend is really a snake!

CURRENT STATUS OF SILVERSTEIN:
Silverstein is a Canadian band that formed back in 2000. After releasing a couple of EP's, the band was signed by Victory Records and released their debut full length studio album, "When Broken Is Easily Fixed" in 2003. In 2005, the band dropped "Discovering The Waterfront" which would turn out to be the band's most successful release of their career. 2007's "Arrivals & Departures" would be the highest charting album of Silverstein's career, peaking at #25 on the Billboard 200 charts. In 2009, Silverstein released "A Shipwreck In The Sand" which was their very first concept album. 2011 saw the band sign on with Hopeless Records for the release of "Rescue". 2012 saw the band drop "Short Songs" where every song on the album checked in at a minute or under. They rounded out their time on Hopeless with the 2013 release, "This Is How The Wind Shifts". Silverstein, now signed to Rise Records, released "I Am Alive In Everything I Touch in 2015 and "Dead Reflection" in 2017. The band's most recent release was 2019's "Redux: The First Ten Years". This album featured the band re-recording some of their best songs from the first ten years of their musical career. Rumor has it that Silverstein will drop a new full length sometime in 2020. Silverstein is a post-hardcore/emo/scream/hardcore punk type of band! Whatever you want to call all those genres mixed into one?! Whatever you want to call it, they are probably the best at it in my opinion. This band never disappoints. All of their albums are excellent and the real beauty about this band is that you can expect new songs pretty much every other year, and sometimes even more than that! Think about it. They are about to hit their 20 year anniversary as a band and they have released 10 studio albums, 1 compilation album, 1 live album and 5 EP's. That's a lot of f'n music in 20 years!! I like a lot of bands. I wouldn't be surprised if Silverstein was in my top 20. I'd have to think about it but in their style of music, I think they're the best. If you dig the music of bands like Senses Fail, Hawthorne Heights, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, From First To Last or Funeral For A Friend you would most definitely enjoy the sounds of Silverstein. Check them out!!
