Billy Hamilton's Big History of Burlington feat. Billy Hamilton (Silverstein)
In the 2000s, Burlington was the de facto centre of Southern Ontario's hardcore music universe, thanks largely in part to Silverstein, whose local shows eventually got too big for the city's biggest venues. Silverstein's bassist and archivist Billy Hamilton takes us through the various bands, people and players who have roots in the Burlington scene and explains why Silverstein are not spiritually CanCon - or are they?? He also dishes on Silverstein's biggest brushes with CanCon elite: Bublé, Theory of a Deadman, Avril, Bryan Adams, Down With Webster, Shrode and many more.
