Once in a while, amidst the bullshit, half-assed, money hungry, no talent clone bands sucking their way to the top of the charts, there comes a band able to transcend that stereotype and bring some quality music to the masses. Shinedown is one of those bands.
‘The Sound Of Madness’, Shinedown’s third album is the Florida rockers’ boldest effort to date. Like its two predecessors, 2003’s Platinum, ‘Leave A Whisper’ and 2005’s Gold, ‘Us And Them’, ‘it offers a brave and unsparing look into the soul and psyche amidst a fierce musical attack that, even in its quieter moments, vibrate with the passion, energy and focus of a band with limitless ambitions. “Arguably the best rock release of 2009 so far.” – Rockmusictoday
Their storming set at 2009’s Download Festival alongside Faith No More and Slipknot has set the scene for their first ever tour of Australia. On the back of their Soundwave appearances Shinedown will only be performing club shows in Sydney and Melbourne.
