Burlington, ON's post-hardcore stalwarts Silverstein are celebrating 10 years since the release of This Is How the Wind Shifts on the road this fall. But before they hit the bricks, they've announced another celebratory anniversary in the reissue of breakthrough sophomore album Discovering the Waterfront today, 18 years on from its original release.

Arriving in stores on September 29 and available for pre-order now, the record remains the group's highest-selling album, featuring tracks like "My Heroine" and "Smile in Your Sleep," which launched their commercial success south of the border. It found them broadening their sound, displaying newfound sensitivity and even teaming up with Yellowcard violinist Sean Mackin on its title track.

"Our long out-of-print sophomore album, Discovering the Waterfront, has finally returned to vinyl!" Silverstein said in a press release. "We still cherish this album and celebrate it any chance we get, so we're glad our fans can pick up a new physical copy. We've been doing this for over 23 years, but never forget our roots. Whether you heard Discovering the Waterfront back then, or just discovered it now, we appreciate you listening."

The reissue arrives in five colourways, including black, brown (via Urban Outfitters), green (via Revolver), green and brown marble (via Craft Recordings) and blue marble (via the band's official store).
