Shinedown unleash sophomore UK single from forthcoming album ‘The Sound of Madness’ on 23rd February, following a run of UK dates that begins next week. The single ‘Sound of Madness’ is a bold rock track with a dark edge and vital injection of melody.
Shinedown’s forthcoming album ‘The Sound Of Madness’ was produced by multiple Grammy Award-winner Rob Cavallo and will be released in March of this year (it debuted at number 8 on the Billboard 200 last June). The band’s dates this month follow a storming run of dates with Disturbed in October 2008.
The Jacksonville, Florida-based fivesome exploded onto the US rock scene in 2003 with their RIAA platinum-certified breakthrough debut, ‘Leave A Whisper’. 2005 saw the release of sophomore album ‘Us and Them’, the RIAA gold-certified record that yielded the blockbusting single ‘Save Me’ – a track which dominated the airwaves holding down the number one spot in the mainstream rock charts for a stunning twelve consecutive weeks.
From the start, Shinedown have proven to be true road warriors, touring non-stop to bring their hard-edged rock ‘n’ roll to fans across the US. The band has performed countless headline dates, and shared stages with the likes of Seether, Van Halen, 3 Doors Down, Rob Zombie, and Godsmack.
They recently wowed UK audiences supporting Disturbed on their October Tour. They will be back in the UK towards the end of January.
Dates are as follows:
Wed 21 Jan 2009 London Islington Academy
Thu 22 Jan 2009 Birmingham Barfly
Fri 23 Jan 2009 Glasgow King Tuts
Sun 25 Jan 2009 Manchester Academy
