小简介
旋律硬摇滚乐队Shinedown来自Florida的Jacksonville,乐队成员由主唱 Brent Smith,吉他 Jasin Todd,贝司 Brad Stewart和鼓手Barry Kerch组成。被Atlantic唱片抢签后说成是Creed和Nickelback的接班人。乐队在2003年的第一张专辑Leave a Whisper为乐队带来了不错的成绩,之后乐队在2004年的大部分时间里都在各地巡演然后发行了一张现场专辑。2005年发行了成绩不俗的新专辑Us and Them。
跟别的重摇滚乐队相比,他们的音乐靠的不是由高精度设备制造出来的重低音,而是靠熟练的节奏吉它手的Riff和主唱的高跨度音域嗓音天衣无缝的协调所产生的震撼音乐,这让两年后的今年夏天他们的第二张专辑us and them再度出现在排行榜上!第3首save me已经在主流摇滚排行榜上龙头的位置停留了很长时间了,让Foo Fighters的新歌也无法超越,shinedown能够出人头地全凭那股旋律摇滚的激情!
Melodic hard rockers Shinedown hail from Jacksonville, FL, and originally featured vocalist Brent Smith, guitarist Jasin Todd, bassist Brad Stewart, and drummer Barry Kerch. Snapped up by Atlantic Records during the early-2000s flurry of post-Creed and Nickelback signings, the group released its debut album, Leave a Whisper, in 2003. Whisper ended up doing quite well for the band (eventually going platinum), aided by its single, "Fly from the Inside." Shinedown also supported it with a heroic slate of live shows, remaining on tour for most of 2004. The following year the band issued a live album ing those shows, then returned in October 2005 with its sophomore effort, Us and Them, which went gold. The band underwent a few lineup changes in the years to follow, re-emerging in 2008 as a quintet that included Smith and Kerch along with guitarists Nick Perri and Zach Myers and bass player Eric Bass. The long-awaited Sound of Madness, featuring Grammy-winning producer Rob Cavallo (Goo Goo Dolls, Green Day), arrived in July.
