Northeast Philadelphia, which is largely a working-class neighborhood and comparable to Queens and Brooklyn in New York, is where Silvertide originated. The band, formerly known as Vertigo, was originally made up of four people: drummer Kevin Frank, lead guitarist Nick Perri, lead singer Walt Lafty and rhythm guitarist Mark Melchiorre. Silvertide began when bassist Brian Weaver joined the group.
When the young rockers began playing live in Philly clubs, they had been practicing and jamming in the Perri's basement for several months. Listeners were taken aback to hear a group of teenagers from the 21st century sounding like they had just stepped out of the 1970s; in fact, the majority of Silvertide's members were still in high school and too young to vote at the time.
After that, the group embarked on a nearly three-year global tour, splitting their headline performances with support slots for acts like Van Halen, Motley Crue, Velvet Revolver, Godsmack, Foo Fighters, The Hives, Gavin DeGraw, The Exies, Grand Funk Railroad, Shinedown, ZZ Top, The Roots, Puddle Of Mudd, Sevendust, Fuel, Crossfade, Staind, Maroon 5, Static X, Dark New Day, Goo Goo Dolls, Alicia Keys, Sammy Hagar, Rev Theory, Government Mule, Seether, Hinder, Kid Rock, Submersed, Breaking Benjamin, Iggy Pop, Three Days Grace, 12 Stones, Trapt, Les Paul, Chevelle, Alter Bridge, Filter, 3 Doors Down, Tantric, Sum 41, The Darkness, Saving Abel, The Killers, Endeverafter, Rusted Root, Adema, Mondo Generator, Interpol, Styx, Kings of Leon, Future Leaders of the World, David Lee Roth, Journey, Buckcherry, Theory Of A Deadman, Metallica, Aerosmith, My Morning Jacket and many more..
