Shinedown
Feb 25, 2023

Shinedown is a rock band formed in Florida in 2001. It features vocalist Brent Smith, guitarist Zach Myers, bassist/producer Eric Bass, and drummer Barry Kerch. They have achieved over 6.5 billion global streams, 19 #1 rock hits, 15 platinum and gold singles, platinum or gold certification for every album, and 10 million albums sold worldwide.
Shinedown is currently named #1 on Billboard’s Greatest Of All Time Mainstream Rock Artists Chart, after notching the most ever #1s in the 40-year history of the chart, and landed each of their 29 singles in the Top 10 on the chart, tied with Foo Fighters for most out of any artist in history.
2018’s acclaimed album Attention Attention, a story album that confronts such complex matters as mental health and the resolve of the human spirit, was certified RIAA Gold and debuted in the Top 5 on the Billboard 200, simultaneously hit #1 on Billboard’s Alternative, Top Rock and Hard Rock Albums Charts and led to five iHeart Radio Music Award nominations. Its accompanying 2021 feature film, directed by Bill Yukich (Beyoncé, Metallica, Wiz Khalifa), was a riveting visual counterpart to the album’s narrative, weaving its 14 songs into a provocative and thought-provoking cinematic journey that illuminates yet another dimension of the band's creativity.
The band released their seventh album, Planet Zero, in 2022. The song "Daylight" was released to Hot AC radio that summer and the album's latest single is "A Symptom Of Being Human".
