Shinedown

Shinedown is an American hard rock band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed in 2001 and founded by members Brent Smith(vocals), Brad Stewart (bass), Jasin Todd (guitar), and Barry Kerch (drums). A few lineup changes followed, and the band's current lineup consists of Smith and Kerch, the band's only two remaining original members, with guitarist Zach Myers, and bassist/pianist Eric Bass. 

Leave a Whisper was the band's debut album, released July 5, 2003, then an enhanced version on June 15, 2004. It featured tracks such as "Fly from the Inside", "Burning Bright", "45" and a cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd song "Simple Man".

"Second Chance", the second single off The Sound of Madness, is Shinedown's biggest hit to date, being their first top 10 song on the Billboard Hot 100. The song reached number 1 during its duration on the chart for three consecutive weeks. "Second Chance" has since gone double platinum. Ironically for the song "that broke into everything", it was one the band hated when they first wrote it.
