Silverstein is a fluke of talent. The group began when key players from a few of Ontario, Canada's hardcore-emo practitioners needed an excuse to hang out and play music. The word on Silverstein soon spread throughout North America, and the side project became a primary source of post-hardcore auditory bliss. The Chicago label Victory Records released a breakthrough long player, When Broken Is Easily Fixed, in May 2003. A string of solid albums and essential repackages has lead to Coming and Going, a musical testament to love, the road and relationship implosion.

Silverstein achieved fame as a children's writer after the publication of The Giving Tree in 1964. The book had been rejected by editor William Cole who felt that the book fell between adults' and children's literature and would never sell. In Silverstein's eyes it was a story about two people; one gives and the other takes. Ultimately, both adults and children embraced the book. The story of a tree that gives its shade, fruit, branches, and finally its trunk to make a little boy happy, The Giving Tree had slow sales at first, but its audience steadily grew. As Richard R. Lingeman reported in the New York Times Book Review (30 April 1978), "Many readers saw a religious symbolism in the altruistic tree; ministers preached sermons on The Giving Tree; it was discussed in Sunday schools."

Silverstein formed in Burlington, Ontario, on the outskirts of Toronto in 2000. Emerging from the thriving hardcore scene in their hometown, the band began honing their sound and recording whenever possible. Two EPs followed and a former member of Grade began talking the band up to his friends at Victory Records. The band signed with Victory shortly afterward. They released “When Broken Is Easily Fixed,” which went on to sell over 200,000 copies worldwide, earning the band a spot in Alternative Press’ 100 Bands You Need To Know in the spring of 2005. Non-stop touring followed and Silverstein became one of the most talked about bands on the hardcore/emo scene.
