Here's the press release I just got for Silvertide...
SILVERTIDE JOINS MÖTLEY CRÜE "CARNIVAL OF
SINS" SIDE SHOW
Hot Up-and Coming Rock Newcomers SILVERTIDE Added for
Dates Starting July 26 through Aug. 27
LOS ANGELES What can you add to Mötley Crües traveling freak show, the newly dubbed "Carnival of Sins," that would top a flame-spewing little person, aerialists, clowns, acrobats, exotic dancers, a flying drum kit and explosive pyrotechnics, which have helped dub the "Red, White & Crüe" tour "The Loudest Show on Earth"?
J Records rockers Silvertide are the latest members of the Crües scorched-earth world tour, joining fellow special guests Island/IDJs Sum 41 and Virgin Records The Exies on the just-announced leg that begins July 26 at Irvine at Verizon Wireless Ampphitheatre and runs through August 27 in Chicago.
Silvertide released their major-label debut, Show and Tell, last June on J Records. These natives of northeast Philadelphias working-class are unabashed classic-rockers, with a bluesy, gritty sound influenced in equal parts by the Stones, the Who, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, the Faces, Guns N Roses and Aerosmith, who the band actually opened for when Steve Tyler and company played their home town. The fivesomelead singer Walt Lafty, guitarist Nick Perri, rhythm guitarist Mark Melchiorre, who also plays banjo and sitar, drummer Kevin Frank and bassist Brian Weaverformed while still in high school, with their adulation of 60s, 70s and 80s hard rock causing a stir on the local club circuit.
"By the end Nick is playing a solo like Slash on a cliff top, Walt is rock-climbing the PA and the whole place is a throbbing mess, sent insane by the most audacious teenage rewiring of rock since Guns N Roses. Somewhere, Justin Hawkins wakes up in a cold sweat: he knows Silvertide are coming for him. This aint rock. Its marble."

The years hottest rock & roll tour just got hotter.
