In Philadelphia, they don't get many big waves. But recently, they've been getting a little bit closer. The A-Sides suggest the ocean, the clouds, love, fury, life and death, with a sound that's like sunshine on your arms, seeping in right after the biggest waves in the world have torn you down.

Silver Storms was produced by Brian McTear (Mazarin, Danielson, Espers) and runs the gamut, from reflective numbers like "My Heroes Have Always Been Crazy" to all-out burners like "We're the Trees." The album was recorded looking out of giant windows on the city of brotherly love as the days were getting longer and spring was turning into summer.

Philadelphia may not become beachfront property any time soon but for now they've got the romance, adventure, and warmth of The A-Sides and Silver Storms.
