Shinedown

Shinedown have released their infectious new single Devour today from their forcoming album, The Sound Of Madness.

After heading out on the road with those crazy cats in Disturbed, we found out just what Nick (guitar) and Barry (drums) about what they thought of the UK so far and whether they’re looking forward to coming back!

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.

The success of ‘Save Me’ was followed by two further Top 5 hits – ‘Heroes’ and ‘I Dare You and 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 early next year. Dates are as follows:

Wed 21 Jan 2009 London Underworld

Thu 22 Jan 2009 Birmingham Barfly

Fri 23 Jan 2009 Glasgow King Tuts

Sun 25 Jan 2009 Manchester Academy
