Originally formed in 2000 as a side project, Silverstein was launched by vocalist Shane Told, guitarist Josh Bradford, drummer Paul Koehler, guitarist Richard McWalter, and bassist Bill Hamilton in Ontario, Canada. After diving into Ontario's hardcore/emo scene — which also included bands like Moneen and Grade — Silverstein found an audience for its particular brand of shimmering emo and hot-blooded post-hardcore. The band's self-released EP, Summer's Stellar Gaze, was quite well received upon its release in 2000, and soon Silverstein became the full-time project of its members. After a lineup change that saw McWalter being replaced by ex-Maharahj guitar player Neil Boshart, the band began to tour the eastern provinces of Canada in earnest.
