In February 2006 the band made their second appearance on the cover of Origivation Magazine. The photoshoot took place while the band was in preproduction for their next album.


In an interview on WMMR the band revealed that they had recorded 25 demos for the upcoming album. They joked about naming it "Kill the Coyote", and revealed two demos named "Still Breathing" and "Hey Now".


In the summer of 2004, the band made appearances with Van Halen in such hotspots as Pittsburgh, and their hometown of Philadelphia.

Silvertide - Music Downloads - Online (458 words)
Silvertide was formed in January 2001 in northeast Philly, a heavily working-class area that is to Philadelphia what Queens and Brooklyn are to New York.
At first, Silvertide (which was originally called Vertigo) had four members: lead singer Walt Lafty, lead guitarist Nick Perri, rhythm guitarist Mark Melchiorre (who also plays banjo and the Indian sitar), and drummer Kevin Frank (who has cited the Who's Keith Moon as a major influence).
But if the members of Silvertide were musical outsiders in high school, they weren't outsiders in Philly rock clubs -- by the time 2001 ended, Silvertide was creating a healthy buzz on the city's rock scene.
