Decade (Live at the El Mocambo) is the first live album by Canadian post-Hardcore band Silverstein, released on June 8, 2010 on Victory.[2][nb 1]

Background and release

On April 23, 2010, the band announced through their official Facebook page that Decade (Live at the El Mocambo) was to be released on June 8, 2010.[3] It was filmed and recorded during March 18–21, 2010 during the band's 10th anniversary shows. The show was filmed by Robby Starbuck, who had previously directed the music videos of "Vices" and "American Dream" for the band. Four cameras were used, presumably limited by the size of the venue.[4]

Each day the band played one of their four full-length albums in its entirety to celebrate 10 years as a band.[5] They announced that Decade would be 'the best of' the performances.[6][7] On May 5, 2010, the album was made available for pre-order with a T-shirt, poster, and signed laminate. They also announced that it would be over 2 hours long, contain 22 tracks, unseen backstage footage, and every music video including the upcoming video for "American Dream".[8][9]

Decade Singles was released on June 1 and contained "Smile in Your Sleep" and "Born Dead" (featuring Scott Wade).[1][10]

The album was mixed by Cameron Webb.[11][nb 2] This was their last release on Victory Records before signing with Hopeless Records later that year.
