After spending most of the summer on tour with Staind and other acts on the "Stimulate This!" tour, Shinedown will hop right back on the road for an extended fall headlining jaunt.
The Florida crew continues the four-band trek Friday night (7/31) in Rock Springs, WY. After the tour's conclusion in late August, the group will get less than two weeks downtime before launching the headlining outing Sept. 10 in Baltimore, the first of 31 cities on the band's fall itinerary. Details are shown below.
The band continues to support its third studio album, "The Sound of Madness," which debuted at No. 8 on The Billboard 200 last July. The set, produced by Grammy winner Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Kid Rock), has spawned mainstream-rock chart-toppers "Devour" and "Second Chance," both of which are streaming at Shinedown's MySpace page.
"The Sound of Madness" follows 2003's platinum-selling "Leave a Whisper" and 2005's Gold-certified "Us and Them," which together yielded seven consecutive Top 5 rock and alternative radio hits, including "Fly From the Inside," "45," "Save Me" and a cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man."
"We wanted to come out of the gate crushing," drummer Barry Kerch said in the band's bio. "We really wanted to make a statement with this record and make it bigger than life--a big rock album that made a statement that, 'Alright, we're back. This is our third record, and this is what we're about.'"
Shinedown recently added touring guitarist Zach Myers as a permanent member following last year's departure of lead guitarist Nick Perri from the group.
