Jersey Calling Kick Off a Spectacular MMRBQ with Brent Porche

Moments after their first performance together in over a decade, Philly’s own Silvertide gathered at the broadcast booth at MMRBQ 2024, basking in the glow of what had just transpired.

Nick Perri, Walt Lafty, Brian Weaver, Mark Melchiorre, and Kevin Frank shared their excitement on air with Brent Porche, and traced the moments that led them to the MMRBQ stage. After a long hiatus, when they began tossing around the idea of a reunion, the important stipulation was that it had to be fun. That philosophy, along with sharpening the songs that Philly knows and loves, resonated from the pit to the lawn at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion.

Seeing the band back in action made it feel like we’d turned the clock back to their early 2000s heyday, but with all the experience and soul that comes with many years spent in the industry. What made this reunion even more special was how the band member’s kids were part of the experience for the first time, pointing out that their children barely know that this music was huge a huge part of our lives 20 years ago.

It’s a full-circle moment for Silvertide, who not only celebrated their epic past and their debut album Show & Tell, but are also brewing up new projects, including a holiday show at the TLA and potentially new music on the horizon.

Pierre Robert and WMMR alum/Bruce Springsteen expert Kevin Gunn celebrate Bruce and the E Street Band's return to Philadelphia for two nights.

Pierre & Professor Kevin Gunn Welcome Bruce Springsteen Back To Philly

Green Day were in Philadelphia on August 9th for a tour that's celebrating 30 years of 'Dookie' and 20 years of 'American Idiot.' They played both of those albums in their entirety, plus a ton of hits and a few new songs, too (36 in all!). 

Backstage at Citizens Bank Park, in an extended conversation with Pierre Robert, Tré Cool talks about Green Day's place in pop culture, from their link to Deadpool & Wolverine to working alongside Mark Hamill in new video for "Corvette Summer." He shares stories of drumming alongside not one, but two Beatles, plus the time he jammed with Willie Nelson: "Willie's asking you to play drums; who cares how high you are?!"

Tré also reflected on the way that Green Day's audience has grown up with them, and how the band are feeling better - and closer - than ever before. And it's clear that they love coming back to Philly, as they've been doing faithfully since '93.

Take it from Tré: "It’s nice to be on America's finest, curated-by-hand rock and roll radio station: WMMR!"

Billy Corgan Talks New Album, Smashing Pumpkins Tour and Pro Wrestling

Before taking the stage at the Fillmore Philadelphia on Friday night, the Struts crashed Pierre Robert’s Workforce blocks - live on the air! - with a special birthday surprise.

Luke Spiller, Adam Slack, Jed Elliott, and Gethin Davies spent some time at the WMMR studios to update Pierre on their current tour, their brand new single, and how interesting it’s been to hear their songs in soundtracks and commercials. They also reminisce about the last time they were in Philly, which involved an ice luge and a few shots of tequila…

The band, who hail from the UK, also discussed their relationship with their American fans, and all of their WMMR experiences over the years: MMRBQ, Pierre Presents, a live performance on Preston and Steve, and more.

See the moment that the Struts stunned Pierre on Instagram, and get the concert gallery and setlist on WMMR.com.
