Silverstein embarked on a Canadian tour with two Canadian bands I Am Committing A Sin and Ten Second Epic along with Floridian labelmates A Day To Remember.
Silverstein於加拿大展開了一連串演唱會, 同行有加拿大樂隊I Am Committing A Sin 以及Ten Second Epic和同屬於Victory唱片的從美國佛羅里達州樂隊A Day To Remember Being the only American band on the tour did not stop A Day To Remember from taking over Toronto. Their third album Homesick has been getting a lot of great reviews and the band landed on the cover of Alternative Press in th
e September issue. Opening their set was the first track of their new record “The Downfall Of Us All” with the catchy intro that got the crowd chanting “da da da”. It was an understatement to say the set was energetic. Fists were in the air, mosh pits were formed as the post-hardcore/punk band launched into ground shattering breakdowns such as “I’m Made Of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of?”, “The Danger In Starting A Fire” and “Fast Forward to 2012”. The band also performed “Have Faith In Me” and announced they will be making a video of it shortly. “The Plot to Bomb the Panhandle” ended the sweaty set with confetti.
It definitely seemed like A Day To Remember has upstaged Silverstein, however, these home-province heroes did not disappoint. It was the band’s first time the band properly played in Toronto in front of a massive crowd after their fourth album “A Shipwreck In The Sand” is released. The band played a bunch of old favourites such as “My Heroine”, “Smile In Your Sleep” and “November” from their debut album “When Broken Is Easily Fixed” which they haven’t played live in awhile. The very talented front man Shane Told was fairly active on stage when he delivered his powerful screams and emotional vocals. Hometown buddies I Am Committing A Sin performed “Born Dead” with the band. The band also covered OneRepublic’s hit “Apologize” (from Punk Goes Pop 2) with their twist to the song. After an encore of three songs, the show ended in “Bleeds No More” with Told singing among the excited fans grabbing him.

雖然A Day To Remember是表演樂隊中是唯一一隊美國樂隊, 但這並沒有阻止他們於多倫多精彩的表演。他們第3隻大碟Homesick極獲好評而ADTR而成為了9月Alternative Press的封面樂隊。展開表演的歌曲是新碟的第一首歌”The Downfall Of Us All”, 群眾反覆地叫出該曲的前奏 “da da da”。形容該晚的表演為精力旺盛的話絕對是對不起ADTR。當這post-hardcore/punk樂隊震撼地演出 “I’m Made Of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of?”, “The Danger In Starting A Fire”和 “Fast Forward To 2012”的時候，群眾的情緒十分高漲，很多拳頭在空中揮舞，台前的人群都在推動對方。ADTR亦有表演 “Have Faith In Me” 並宣佈會為該曲拍攝音樂錄影。結束這滿身是汗的表演是 “The Plot to Bomb the Panhandle”，最後更有彩色碎紙射出，十分漂亮。
經過ADTR精彩的演出之後，感覺上他們好像搶了Silverstein的風頭，但是來至安省的Silverstein並
沒有令觀眾失望。繼Silverstein第四隻大碟 “A Shipwreck In The Sand”推出之後，這是第一次正式的在多倫多眾多人前演出。Silverstein演了一些舊歌，好像”My Heroine”, “Smile In Your Sleep”和收錄於第一隻專輯“When Broken Is Easily Fixed”的“November”－樂隊己經有一陣子沒有表演該曲了。活躍的主音Shane Told除了負責感情豐富的歌詞，亦吼叫出歌曲強勁的部分。跟Silverstein一樣來自安省Burlington市的I Am Committing A Sin在 “Born Dead” 的時候加入了演出。除了自己的歌之外，Silverstein表演了OneRepublic的主打曲 “Apologize” (收錄於Punk Goes Pop 2中) 也在歌中加入了吼叫的歌詞。於最後一首encore，Shane Told更離開台上在人群中歌唱 “Bleeds No More”而完結該晚的演出。
