Canadian post-hardcore act Silverstein recently shot the music video for American Dreams, the latest single off of their 2009 release Shipwreck In The Sand on Victory Records. Although the video hasn’t been released yet, there are a couple of behind-the-scenes pictures that you can see here.
The band also talks about the inspiration behind the music video, the 9th in their 10 year history. Frontman Shane Told says,
“In this particular song, the concept was based on the social aspect and social struggles people face based on what they see in the movies, on TV and in magazines. The song is written from the wife’s perspective about her growing up and always thinking she would have the perfect Hollywood life with a perfect marriage. It’s about these images that people see and feel they need to have even though they don’t.”
Returning to director Robby Starbuck who was also involved with Vices, the first music video off of Shipwreck, Told had this to say about working the decision to work with him again,
“He has a passion for film and getting the right shot like I’ve never seen. He just really cares and really pays attention to details. I think that’s what makes this video stand out and be special compared to our other videos.”
Silverstein is currently on tour with A Day To Remember. Check their Dying Scene shows page to see when you can catch them in your town.
