Due to scheduling troubles, Silvertide cancelled all of their upcoming performances. In a statement made through MySpace, fans were told:
"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", and revealed two demos named "Still Breathing" and "Hey Now".
In the summer of 2004, the band made apperinces with Van Halen in such hotspots as Pittsburgh, and their hometown of Philadelphia
M. Night Shyamalan, a horror/mystery director raised in the Philadelphia suburbs, had Silvertide featured in his movie, 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 2006, the band launched a brand new website designed to focus on establishing a strong, personal connection with their fans. The site offers fans access to exclusive podcasts, photos and videos that exhibit access to the band.
