Writing and recording
Transitions is the band's first release with their new label, Hopeless. Vocalist Shane Told has always been a long-time fan of the label and the albums they release.[1] Prior to the announcement of the EP, Told had stated in interviews that the band had already written 16 songs for a new album, much more than the average Silverstein album.[3] The Transitions EP has two songs that will appear on the band's 2011 full-length album, as well as three B-sides.[4]
