The early years and When Broken Is Easily Fixed (2000–2004)

Silverstein was born in February 2000. In August of that year, they self-released their first EP, Stellar Gaze, in August. Billy Hamilton, a local supporter who discovered the band's need for a bassist on the Internet message board "The 905 Board," which used to be for local musicians, has been through several lineup changes. He joined the band in December 2000 after Told helped him learn the songs' music. He officially debuted with Silverstein following a rehearsal on Boxing Day (26 December) in 2000. Richard McWalter, the original guitarist, left the band to Victoria, British Columbia, to study engineering next year. Neil Boshart, Shane Told's childhood friend, was then posted. When the Shadows Beam, the new lineup's second EP, came as part of their first tour in Eastern Canada. Hamilton performed with a complete lineup on October 2002 when he attempted to complete his secondary education one semester early.

When Broken Is Easily Fixed, the band took the band into the studio in January to record their first full-length debut album. It was shot at Unity Gain and Mount Fairview studios with producer Justin Koop and was released on May 20, 2003 by Victory Records.

Discovering the Waterfront, the band's second studio album, was released by Victory Records in August 2005. It was Cameron Webb's first album to be produced, and it represented the beginning of a long association between the band and the American producer. It also marked a change in sound from When Broken Is Easily Fixed, which featured faster-paced and more energetic songs, as well as the band's continued use of more punk rock elements in their music. The old's clean and unclean vocals had improved since their first attempt.
