Shinedown

Shinedown is an American hard rock band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed in 2001 and founded by members Brent Smith (vocals), Brad Stewart (bass), Jasin Todd (guitar), and Barry Kerch (drums).

Smith originally performed as the frontman and lead singer of a band titled Dreve in the mid-1990’s. The only member to be signed to a label was Brent Smith, as the record label was unhappy with Dreve and were dropped prior to releasing an album.

During the span of their first five albums, a few lineup changes followed, making the band’s only two remaining original members Smith and Kerch.

Since their inception, the group has released Leave a Whisper, Us and Them, The Sound of Madness, Amaryllis, Threat To Survival and Attention Attention, along with their newest album, Planet Zero. Over their 22 year span, they have sold more than six million albums worldwide. Their best songs include “Second Chance”, “Sound of Madness”, “Cut the Cord”, “45” and “Monsters”.
