[edit] History
Silvertide was formed in January 2001 in Northeast Philadelphia. At first, Silvertide (who were originally called Vertigo) was signed by J Records. They released their first EP American Excess in 2002. Their first full album, Show and Tell, was released in 2004 and produced by David Ivory.[2]
After completion of their debut album in 2003, Silvertide hit the road and toured straight until 2006. Most notably as main support for Van Halen, Velvet Revolver, and Motley Crue in the summer of 2004.
M. Night Shyamalan featured Silvertide in his film Lady in the Water. Silvertide was featured on the soundtrack with their covers of Bob Dylan's "Maggie's Farm" and "It Ain't Me, Babe".
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.
Silvertide continued to play shows after the temporary departure of lead guitarist and founding member Nick Perri decided to hit the road with Perry Farrell, Shinedown, and Matt Sorum.
Guitarist "Evil Rob", also from the Philadelphia-based band Pepper's Ghost and long time friend of the band, was called to fill in for Perri on numerous occasions.
[edit] Other projects
January 22, 2009 vocalist Walt Lafty and bassist Brian Weaver of Silvertide started a new band called Automatic Fire with guitarist Evil Rob of the band Peppers Ghost alongside drummer Brian Kilian from the Dave Pittinger Band. The band was dissolved in September 2010.
In October 2010 it was announced that former Silvertide members Nick Perri and Walt Lafty had reunited to form the new rock band SINAI.
