...Mark Melchiorre, bassist Brian Weaver and drummer Kevin Frank—five shaggy-haired time travelers hell-bent on resurrecting rock’n’roll. They strip their sound down to the essentials: wailing guitar licks, raucous vocals and crashing drums redolent of rock’s heyday in the 70s. Explicit lyrics might stave off mass appeal for Silvertide, but the rambunctious quintet out of northeastern Philadelphia strike that chord of mania and excess with rock fanatics.

His friendly spirit, community activism (he lends his name to everything from health clinics in the Dominican Republic to hurricane relief) and athletic abilities are an island of hope to otherwise cynical fans fed a steady diet of Ray Lewises and Albert Belles.? Fans are desperate to hang...
...grocery pioneer that was supposed to revolutionize the way people shop, is dead and gone, but the idea behind it lives on. According to Jupiter Research, consumers this year will buy more than $2 billion worth of groceries online--more than three times what they spent in Webvan's heyday back...
