Their story: Silverstein is from Burlington, Ontario. The band name was taken from the famous children's author Shel Silverstein. After a couple of lineup changes, the band acquired Billy Hamilton, a local fan who learned of the band's need for a bassist on the Internet message board The 905 Board (an Ontario area outreach board for local musicians). In Christmas of 2001, he joined the band after Told helped him learn the music for the songs. Following a rehearsal on Boxing Day (December 26) in 2001, he officially debuted with Silverstein. The next spring, original guitarist Richard McWalter left the band to move to Victoria, British Columbia to study engineering. He was then replaced by Neil Boshart, childhood friend of Shane Told.
