| Shinedown's Concert Tour The Jacksonville-based band Shinedown returns to the road next week for a new series of live dates in support of their latest album, "Us And Them." The Equinox tour, co-headlined by Trapt, is the follow-up to this winter's sold-out SnoCore tour with Seether. "Save Me, " the first single from "Us And Them, " was a certified smash at radio, going #1 across all rock formats. The album's second single, "I Dare You, " has already hit the top 5 on both the mainstream and active rock charts and has bulleted into the top 20 on the alternative chart. "I Dare You" was also the featured song for WWE's "Wrestlemania 22" and Shinedown will be performing the song live on the "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" (CBS) on Friday, April 14th. The band previously appeared as the musical guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (ABC) back in October and will follow up the "Late Late Show" with a performance on "CD USA" (DirecTV) on April 16th. With their Atlantic debut, "Leave A Whisper, " Shinedown established themselves as a major new force in modern rock 'n' roll. The album featured a trio of top 5 rock radio smashes: "Fly From The Inside, " "45, " and "Simple Man." Certified RIAA platinum certified for sales exceeding one million, "Leave A Whisper" held the #1 spot on SoundScan's "Alternative New Artists" chart, while also reaching the Top 5 on Billboard's "Heatseekers" ranking of new and developing artists. Shinedown followed the album's release with nearly two years of non-stop touring, earning a reputation as one of today's most compelling live outfits. The band headlined shows across the country, in addition to tours alongside such names as Van Halen, 3 Doors Down, Tantric, and others. Shinedown is: Brent Smith - vocals; Jasin Todd - guitars; Brad Stewart - bass; Barry Kerch - drums. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
