About this episode

Shane Told of Silverstein discusses the band's 25-year journey, their latest album, and the current music scene.

Silverstein’s Shane Told sits down with me, Peaches, for a deep dive into 25 years of chaos, creativity, and post-hardcore dominance. From the early days of recording Discovering the Waterfront while crashing in a walk-in closet to selling out their biggest tour ever , Shane pulls back the curtain on Silverstein’s journey, their evolution, and why they’ve never hit the brakes. We get into the making of their latest album, Antibloom —why they recorded it in Joshua Tree , how it rekindled the magic of their early days, and why they couldn’t settle for just one album in 2025 (yes, two full records are coming). Plus, Shane breaks down the stories behind Confession and Don’t Let Me Get Too Low —including how the latter almost didn’t have a bridge and the ridiculous behind-the-scenes moments that went into filming its music video in the Las Vegas desert . But it doesn’t stop there. We talk about: Breakdowns vs. Guitar Solos – Why every song today seems to have a breakdown, even the ballads. Touring at This Level – The reality of going from cramped vans to full production semi-trucks and what life on the road looks like 25 years in. The Emo Revival – Why a whole new generation of fans…
