Silver

Silverstein enters its 25th year with two full-length albums set for 2025. The band that NME calls “legendary,” and Loudwire placed among the Most Prolific Rock & Metal Artists of the 21st Century, continues to innovate and inspire on forward-thinking records and at crowd-embracing live shows.

Discovering the Waterfront (2005) remains a touchstone classic. A Beautiful Place to Drown (2020) earned a Rock Album of the Year nomination at the Juno Awards. Antibloom (arriving in February) and Pink Moon (August) are stunning reminders of why the group is a vital subcultural force and why Alternative Press readers voted frontman Shane Told among the Five Best Post-Hardcore Vocalists.

Silverstein songs like “My Heroine,” “Smile in Your Sleep,” “The Afterglow,” and “Infinite” are postmodern anthems for a devoted following earned with passionate performances and authentic artistry. As recently as 2024, The Needle Drop called them “emo hardcore legends.” While their 500M+ streams reflect that, Silverstein grew up in a scene where the music and message come first.

Audiences sing and scream along in packed theaters, at festivals, and on tours around the world with groups like Simple Plan, Rise Against, Good Charlotte, Pierce The Veil, Beartooth, and Underoath.

Sam Guaiana (Neck Deep, Holding Absence, Bayside) produced and mixed Antibloom and Pink Moon at Fireside Sound in Joshua Tree, California. The band arrived with 25 demos and chose their 16 favorites. Koehler suggested splitting the music into two albums and turning 2025 into a year-long celebration. This will allow listeners the space to absorb and connect with the songs, which embrace the band’s storied past and postmodern leanings in equal measure, making for diverse experiences.

“We put everything we’ve learned/felt/experienced into this double album,” the band said in a shared statement, declaring Antibloom and Pink Moon “the absolute collection of our musical style.”

Mayday Parade

There’s a lot for Mayday Parade to celebrate these days. The Tallahassee, Florida-formed quintet recently wrapped a career-defining tour marking two decades together, one that saw more than 70,000 fans pack sold-out venues to celebrate their storied catalog. They performed a triumphant main-stage set at the 30th anniversary of the Vans Warped Tour, a full-circle moment for a band that made their name selling self-released CDs in those sweltering parking lots nearly 20 years ago. Their landmark debut LP, A Lesson In Romantics, turned 18, still beloved for its iconic singles like the platinum-certified “Jamie All Over” and gold-certified “Miserable At Best.” And the group released Sweet, the first in a self-released three-album series that reaffirmed just how creatively energized they still remain.

Now, with Sad, the second installment in that trilogy, Mayday Parade dive deeper into the emotional nuance that’s long defined their work. The emotional journey found on songs like “Under My Sweater,” “It’s Not All Bad” and “Promises” is the beating heart of the band, the reason fans proudly wear MAYDAY PARADE IS AN EMOTION shirts and hoodies like a badge of honor. It’s the compass that’s guided the band through their entire career – especially during this three-album arc – pushing them to chase the next great idea, whether it arrives in a sudden spark or takes decades to fully round into form. It’s all in the songs, and when it’s right, you’ll know it when you hear it.

Saosin

Emerging from the fracturing of Open Hand, Saosin (alongside acts such as Underoath and Silverstein) outlined a new wave of emo saturated in harsh atonal dissonances and highlighted by pop hooks buried under searing noise. The group has released two albums throughout the 2000s each with a remarkably different character.
