Introducing
Shinedown aren’t exactly the newest kids on the block, they’ve been together since 2001 and have had a lot of success in the US with albums Leave A Whisper and Us and Them. Now their popularity is spreading over the pond with the release of their album Sound of Madness in late 2008 and their single ‘Second Chance’ has worked its way onto the
Absolute Radio Playlist.
With tattoos, dreadlocks and interesting facial hair they’re your fairly run-of-the-mill rockers in terms of looks, but what do they sound like? Their last single ‘Devour’ is a veritable storm of guitars, mega riffs, stomping basslines and massive ear-worming melodic hooks; it’s the perfect mixture of metal attitude and memorable tunes.
Current single ‘Second Chance’ is not quite such a gut-puncher, it’s more reminiscent of Nickelback with heartfelt lyrics and instant hummability. Keep an ear out for it on Absolute Radio, we guarantee it’ll have you singing along into your hairbrush and strumming your air-guitar in no time.
Catch Shinedown at this year’s Download Festival at Donington Park.
