via Topless Robot I would give anything for that to be the actual James Bond theme music from now on, wouldn't you? ANYWAY, here's some shit we did this week: We spoke to Neige from Alcest and SL from The Devil's Blood. Lazarus A.D.'s Jeff Paulick got pissed the Packers losing. We checked out the [...]

Known as the bellowing frontman for alternative metal band Staind, Aaron Lewis shocked many when he released the Town Line EP earlier this year. Not only did it feature Lewis singing a collecti... Continue reading "Staind's Aaron Lewis Talks Country Music, Ron Paul and the Constitution" >

1999 called. It wants its everything back. Early in 2011, Staind lead singer Aaron Lewis did the unthinkable for a hard rock front man: he made a country record. That EP, Town Line, found Lewis playing with meter, adopting a gentler affectation, and introducing some genuinely interesting images in his lyrics. Town Line exposed a nuanced songwriter ready to ditch the tired rock tropes to reach a new audience... ... and then Staind put out its self-titled seventh album. This is where...

American rock band, Staind, has returned to the music scene with their seventh self-titled album since their inception in 1995. Released on September 13, 2011 through Atlantic Records, "Staind" marks the reemergence of the band's return to the heavy, gritty sound which defined the commercial success of previous albums, "Dysfunction" in 1999, and "Break the Cycle" in 2001. Although some may be alarmed by the roaring vocals by leading frontman, Aaron Lewis, Staind impressively presents their musical ability through the belligerently stroked stringed instruments and maintains a harmonious balance between melody and aggression. On the opening track, "Eyes [...]

The "Top Hard Music" Chart I've been using for this column for the past couple of years is a mixed bag; on one hand, a lot of the "Top Hard Music" albums are really old albums that continue to sell (Metallica's Black Album, various greatest hits collections, catalogue albums of whatever big band happens to [...]

Last week was a big, big sales week for new metal releases, I'd imagine one of the highest cumulative tallies of the year so far. The #1 through #6 entries on the Top Hard Music charts could all be considered smashes in today's relative terms, with Dream Theater, Anthrax and others making big splashes. Arch/Matheos, [...]

Lady Antebellum has delivered another chart topper, Adele continues to sell like crazy, Lil Wayne is still understandable. Staind also debuted this week and it must be 2001 or something, wtf?. THIS WEEK // LAST WEEK // TOTAL SALES 1. LADY ANTEBELLUM - OWN THE NIGHT (347,479 // DEBUT) 2. ADELE - 21 (119,183 // 121,334 // 3,538,444) 3. LIL' WAYNE - [...]

Nashville trio Lady Antebellum steer their third album Own The Night straight to the peak position on Billboard 's Top 200 album chart this week after selling 347,000 copies out of the gate. It's the band's third #1 album, and their third consecutive LP to place in the Top 10. Elsewhere, another country artist, Brantley Gilbert, sees a debut in the upper reaches of the Top 200 (#4), while rockers Staind, Dream Theater and The Devil Wears Prada place high, as well. We feel compelled [...]

By Michel R Dussack On September 15th, Staind played a special benefit show at the Best Buy Theater (as well as an album release show of sorts as their new self-titled album "Staind" came out two days prior), with all the money from the show going to the families of first responders of the 9/11/01 attacks. To be part of this show was truly humbling, and to be able to sit down with the band before the show...

While we playfully ignore 20082s The Illusion of Progress as though it were Jay Leno, take a moment and remember that Staind used to be somewhat amicable. They weren't necessarily up there in the pantheon of modern rock royalty, but certainly something worth mentioning in a blurb. I know that a few of you reading this probably sang "It's Been a While" in your showers at some point, perhaps a friend even loaned you 19962s Tormented because he was a smarmy, elitist "cool kid" about the whole deal and dreadfully loathed Fred [...]
