hi and welcome to watchmojo.com i’m your
host Stephanie and today we’re talking
to Josh Bradford and Josh and I play
guitar in a band called silverstein I
post hardcore group silverstein
speaking of shows how would you describe
a typical silverstein show sweaty
would you guys love most about touring
and performing I really enjoy playing
shows I mean sweating comes with that
the amount of energy that you get to put
out there and the crowd returns to you
it’s just an amazing thing there’s no
other feeling like it you guys are
headlining right now and for your most
recent album which is course called
arrivals and departures so how would you
guys describe this album in your musical
evolution like where are you guys at
right now yeah it’s just progressing
like it’s becoming more melodic and more
straight to the point it just seems very
natural for us we never sit down and
talk about where we want to go with the
record we just get together and jam and
write songs and it’s it’s what came out
of us
this record is a very personal record at
least for Shane lyrically like how do
you guys contribute I’ve contributed a
little bit of lyrics personally for one
of the songs on the last record but it
is mostly Shane we all relate to it
really well because everything that he’s
gone through we’ve kind of been right
there for and have gone through the same
things ourselves do you have a favorite
song that to play I really like I guess
I’ll say my disaster is off the new
record this it’s fun to play now that
you’ve had like you know quite a bit of
success at this point like what do you
guys think is your next step we’ve been
touring overseas and around the world a
fair bit in the past couple years and
definitely are trying to develop that we
we definitely look at this as a career
we don’t want to just like have a hit
song make a million bucks and check it
we just did Australian Japan and those
are really going well Europe is taking
off for us huge as well at the state
that we’re in in the music industry are
you guys finding it more challenging
like you know with all the internet and
the piracy going on that’s not so
difficult like the industry is
definitely being hurt right now but
that’s more so like physical record
sales which doesn’t hurt us as much as
it hurts the labels and all those other
entities I think the Internet has done
nothing but help us really because we
can go halfway around the world and have
all these people that know our music
basically just because they could listen
to it on the Internet are you guys very
much involved in things like posting
myspace blogs and all that stuff like we
try to stay as involved as possible
myspace is starting to get a little bit
hectic we have people helping us here
and there but we’re we’re not just
passing at office it’s important to us
to be connected you guys are sort of
categorized as post-hardcore or I’ve
even read like emo and stuff like what
do you guys think of these tags and
would you personally define it in a
certain way I’ll definitely i’m in to
post hardcore i think that’s like a
decent way to describe it what are you
most proud of and what are you looking
forward to I would just like to I guess
yeah see some longevity with this band
like we’re putting in hard work and
dedication and
we really care about what we do and care
about the people that care about what we
do so I guess I would just like to see
everybody be happy and involved and
continue to enjoy what we do so that we
can continue and enjoying what we do
yeah thank you so much thank you
