[edit] 2006

Due to scheduling troubles, Silvertide cancelled all of their upcoming performances. In a statement made through Myspace, fans were told that:

"Some of you have asked about rumors of Silvertide cancelling their upcoming tour. The rumors are TRUE. All future Silvertide tour dates are cancelled and the band is going back into the studio to record their next record. The circumstances are odd and the story is long-winded but the bright side is that next time you see the band you'll hear all new stuff. We look forward to seeing everyone in the summer."

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". The band revealed two demos named "Still Breathing" and "Hey Now".

M. Night Shyamalan, a popular horror/mystery director born and raised in the Philadelphia suburbs, had Silvertide featured in his movie: Lady in the Water. The movie opened July 21, 2006 to the public. Silvertide appears in the film and has two of their songs featured on the soundtrack.

In 2006, the band launched a brand new website designed to focus on establishing a strong, personal connection with their fans. SilvertideLive.com offers fans access to exclusive podcasts, photos and videos that exhibit access to the band and everything Silvertide.
