SHINEDOWN's BRENT SMITH And ZACH MYERS Perform Acoustic Set At iRockRadio.com Studio (Video)

Brent Smith and Zach Myers of SHINEDOWN recently performed a short acoustic set at Studio 64 at iRockRadio.com in Farmington, Connecticut. Check out video footage below.

“Attention Attention”, SHINEDOWN‘s sixth studio album, debuted at No. 1 on the Top Rock Albums chart back in May 2018. The follow-up to 2015’s “Threat To Survival” marked SHINEDOWN‘s first full-length effort to be produced entirely by Eric Bass. The 14-song release that tells the story of a character who starts out defeated and slowly overcomes pain and personal struggles and becomes confident at the end. The album also lyrically touches upon Smith‘s former drug addiction and Bass‘s depression.

Smith told Classic Rock magazine that “Get Up” is “one of the quintessential songs on the record. I wrote the lyrics to ‘Get Up’ about Eric, who produced and mixed the record,” he said. “Eric faces what is considered to be clinical depression on a daily basis. Some days everything is great, some days the sky is falling in. Often he’ll tell me he wishes he could unscrew part of his skull, reach into his brain and take that part of him out and throw it away. But it is a part of him, and he has to work with it. He doesn’t have to like it, but he has to respect it. And as a band, we all respect him because of it. It was one of the songs that took the longest to write because I was afraid what Eric was going to think. So this is the part of the record when a person has to have a heart-to-heart chat with themselves in that chair. It’s a very conversational piece.”

Two singles from SHINEDOWN‘s 2015 album “Threat To Survival” were recently certfified by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). On April 3, “Cut The Cord” achieved platinum status (one million units; each unit is equal to 1 paid download or 150 streams) while “State Of My Head” officially went gold (500,000 units; each unit is equal to 1 paid download or 150 streams).

SHINEDOWN kicked off its 2019 “Attention Attention” world tour on February 20 in Estero, Florida at Hertz Arena.
