Silverstein join forces with Aaron Gillespie for ‘Infinite,’ confirm their tenth studio album
How does a band that’s been in the music game celebrate its 20th anniversary?
Announce a massive anniversary tour? Check.
Sign to a new record label? Check.
Announce a new album to coincide with said tour? Double check.
On Wednesday (Jan. 8), Silverstein revealed plans to unleash their tenth studio album later this year. Titled A Beautiful Place to Drown, the new set of tunes is due out on March 6 through independent record label UNFD. Pre-orders for the record are currently available for purchase here.
Taking to social media (like everyone does nowadays), the Canadian group made the official announcement.
“We are proud to announce our new album, ‘A Beautiful Place to Drown’ available on March 6 via UNFD (you can pre-order now),” the band posted.
The post continues: “We poured every ounce of energy and emotion into this body of work and truly believe it’s our best yet.”
To coincide with the new album announcement, the quintet also debuted the album’s lead single, “Infinite.” The barely three-minute track features Underoath/the Almost’s Aaron Gillespie.
Check out the new song above.
Silverstein’s last studio album was 2017’s Dead Reflection. Last February, the five-piece released a retrospective album titled Redux: The First Ten Years. The compilation featured newly-recorded versions of select songs from their first four studio albums (When Broken is Easily Fixed, Discovering the Waterfront, Arrivals & Departures, and A Shipwreck in the Sand).
Silverstein also surprised fans by releasing a single titled “Burn it Down” last summer featuring Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo.
Later this year, the group will embark on their massive 20th-anniversary tour. The 33-stop outing begins on Feb. 28 at the London Music Hall in London, Ontario, and concludes a month and a half later on April 11 at the Danforth in Toronto.

Blink-182, Weezer, and Limp Bizkit to headline Inkcarceration 2020
Is it just us, or are the 90s making a full comeback?
If you’re shaking your head, not quite sure what we mean, all you need to do is take a look at the current state of fashion or the lineup for the 2020 incarnation of Ohio’s Inkcarceration Festival.
On Wednesday (Dec. 18), the people behind the annual rock-centric music and tattoo festival unveiled their lineup for their third annual event.
Headlining the three-day festivities are Blink-182, Weezer, and Limp Bizkit (yes, Limp Bizkit).
Joining Blink-182, Weezer, and Limp Bizkit on the 2020 roster will be Papa Roach, Halestorm, Mastodon, Underoath, Atreyu, New Politics, All That Remains, We Came as Romans, The Devil Wears Prada, New Years Day, Escape the Fate, and many more.
According to a press statement, additional bands will be unveiled at a later time. Over 40 groups will reportedly take over one of two stages during the weekend-long gig.
Because this is a music and tattoo festival, festival organizers also revealed that 60 tattoo artists will be on hand to give concertgoers some new ink.
In addition to the killer musical lineup and tattoo artists, the event will also include tours of the Ohio State Reformatory (aka the Shawshank prison), gourmet food trucks, drinks, and the return of the popular haunted house attraction, Escape from Blood Prison.
Talk about celebrating Halloween in July.
Inkcarceration 2020 will return to its home at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio, during the weekend of July 10-12.
Tickets for Inkcarceration 2020 are currently available for purchase here.
Fearless Records resurrect their ‘Punk Goes…” series with ‘Punk Goes Acoustic: Volume 3’
It was the 2000s.
Who was in your top ten on Myspace was the true test of friendship.
Bands like Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and the All-American Rejects held on to key spots on TRL’s top ten chart.
Warped Tour was arguably one of the biggest music festivals at the time.
And the sale of eyeliner and fake hair dye was at an all-time high.
It’s been over a decade and we still have good (and some seriously bad) memories of that time.
Now, it looks like the folks over at Fearless Records are trying to bring back the mid-2000s which, we guess, can be a good or bad thing depending on if you were knee-deep into that scene (which, let’s be honest, we were).
On Friday (June 28), the record label announced plans to unleashed the latest addition to their Punk Goes… series. Dubbed Punk Goes Acoustic: Volume 3, the record features several bands who made a name for themselves during the heyday of Myspace including Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, Underoath, The Almost, Circa Survive, Mayday Parade, and more.
The 12-track record will feature the Fearless family members giving their breakout songs the acoustic treatment. Punk Goes Acoustic: Volume 3 is due out July 15 with pre-orders currently available for purchase on the label’s website.
In true fashion, Fearless is offering the album in different formats including CD, cassette, and vinyl. All pre-orders will receive instant downloads of Taking Back Sunday’s acoustic version of “A Decade Under the Influence” (which can be streamed above) and Set It Off’s “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” (which can be streamed here).
The full tracklisting for Punk Goes Acoustic: Volume 3 can be seen below.
PUNK GOES ACOUSTIC: VOLUME 3 TRACKLISTING:
1. Dance Gavin Dance – “Story of My Bros” (Acoustic)
2. Circa Survive – “Act Appalled” (Acoustic)

Anberlin to reunite at Underoath’s hometown show in December
The guys from Anberlin are getting the band together, but there’s a catch; it’s for one night only. On Thursday (Oct. 18), the Winter Haven-founded band took to social media to announce plans to reunite for one show. The gig, which will take at the Yuengling Center in Tampa on Dec. 14, will find the formerly defunct band opening for fellow Florida-founded act Underoath.
“We’ve been playing shows in the Tampa area with Anberlin since we were basically kids,” a statement from Underoath begins. “We knew them coming back to play this hometown show with us was a big ask—but it just felt right. We have said we couldn’t be more pumped to close out the Erase Me tour with this show in our hometown. But we’ve been proven wrong.”
Anberlin drummer Nathan Young mirrors Underoath’s sentiments: “All the Anberlin dudes reconnected over this last year, hung on the beach together, and then, when we got asked to play this show with Underoath, in our hometown, the answer was, ‘yeah!”
Young continues: “I mean why wouldn’t we do that? Life is short and we should almost always say ‘yes’ to rad stuff. Plus, we’ve been homies with Underoath for 15-plus years. [Guitarist] Tim [McTague] is my brother-in-law and we’ve never played a proper show together. It’s just way overdue.”
Anberlin will join Crown the Empire, Dance Gavin Dance, and the Plot in You on that night’s roster.
To purchase tickets for the show, head on over the Yuengling Center’s website here.
The surprise announcement comes months after the band members began posting small, band-centric items on social media. The posts weren’t major enough to warrant speculations that a reunion could be in the cards, but enough to make fans wonder if maybe they were up to something.
Anberlin formally announced plans to disband in August of 2014. Before laying the band to rest, the five-piece went on a massive final tour that found them performing across the continent before taking the stage for the last time on Nov. 26, 2014 at the House of Blues in their quasi-hometown of Orlando.
Anberlin’s final studio album was 2014’s Lowborn (via Tooth & Nail).
As for Underoath, the upcoming tour is in support of their recently released record, Erase Me (via Fearless Records). The album was met with favorable reviews by critics and fans alike. The album, the group’s eighth, peaked at the number 16 spot on Billboard’s 200 chart, the number four spot on the Top Rock Albums chart, and the top spot on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart.
This show will also be a historic one for the six-piece as it will be the first time a Tampa Bay band has ever headlined a Tampa Bay arena.
Underoath announce ‘No Fix’ spring tour
About a week after confirming their official return to the music world, Underoath have given fans even more good news. On Monday (Feb. 26), the Florida-founded band announced plans to hit the road during the spring and summer months. The No Fix tour is set to kick off on April 20 with Underoath’s appearance at the inaugural Las Rageous Festival in Las Vegas. After traveling across North America and Europe, the excursion will wrap up on Aug. 25 at the Leeds Festival in the United Kingdom.
Supporting Underoath during the tour will be Dance Gavin Dance, Veil of Maya, and Limbs.
General ticket sales will begin this Friday, March 2 at 10 a.m. local time. For those who would like to secure tickets before anyone else, the band is currently offering VIP packages. The packages are limited to a few per city and will include a meet and greet and photo-op with Underoath, access to a pre-show soundcheck, and an exclusive tour vinyl of their new album, Erase Me. Every ticket purchased for this tour will include a digital download of Erase Me.
The No Fix tour comes almost two years after Underoath headed out on their first post-hiatus tour. In 2016, the group embarked on the Rebirth tour which included appearances at South By So What?! and the 2016 edition of A Day to Remember’s annual Self Help Fest.
Last week, Underoath not only announced the release of Erase Me, they also unleashed the music video for the record’s lead single, “On My Teeth.” The music video for the new song can be seen above.
Erase Me is set to be released on April 6 through the band’s new home of Fearless Records. Erase Me is the long-awaited follow-up to 2010’s Ø (Disambiguation).
