SHINEDOWN Interviewed In UK; Video Available

October 15, 2008

Beartrap Pods conducted an interview with the Jacksonville, Florida-based hard rock/post-grunge band SHINEDOWN on October 8, 2008 at the Nottingham Rock City during the group's UK tour as the support act for DISTURBED. Watch the chat in two parts below.

SHINEDOWN's "Devour" single recently reached #1 on both the Billboard Active and Mediabase Rock charts. Fresh off of its success, the band released "Second Chance" as the next single from their album "The Sound Of Madness" on September 9.

For SHINEDOWN lead singer Brent Smith, "Second Chance" is the most autobiographical track on the album. Smith wrote the lyrics about leaving his native Knoxville, Tennessee, to pursue a career in rock 'n' roll.

"This song for me is the most personal song on the record because it's about how I grew up and my childhood," commented Brent. "It's about throwing caution to the wind and going after what you truly want in life."
