Staind

Formed in Springfield, Massachusetts USA, this Alternative-Metal band appeared in the New England area heavy-Rock scene in 1993; consisting of lead singer Aaron Lewis, guitarist Mike Mushok and drummer Jon Wysocki, within a short time, they were joined by bassist Johnny April solidifying the line-up.

The quartet self-financed their debut album, "Tormented" and released it in November 1996.
Staind's big break came a year later when the band earned a support slot for Limp Bizkit's Connecticut show, subsequently, with help of Bizkit singer Fred Durst, they signed for Flip Records, continued to tour, opening for the likes of Sevendust and Clutch; the band decamped to recording studio in Seattle to cut their second album, "Dysfunction", which was issued in April of 1999; it debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers list, broke The Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and generated "Mudshovel" and "Home", which both climbed into the top 20 of the Mainstream and Modern Rock Tracks charts.
The group next album, "Break The Cycle", became their breakthrough, both commercially and musically; released in mid-2001, the set peaked at #1 in U.S. and Canadian Albums charts while the main single, the masterpiece "It's Been Awhile", spent 16 weeks at the top of The Modern Rock chart, the single also reached the #1 and #5 respectively on Mainstream Rock chart and on The Billboard Hot 100; their third album yielded two further Modern and Mainstream top 3 hits, "Fade" and "For You" plus "Outside" which reached the #11 on Active Rock chart and the final single, "Epiphany", helped to push the album into platinum territory five times over.
In spring 2003, Staind, returned with its fourth album "14 Shades Of Grey" which immediately rose to #1 on The Billboard 200 chart, peaked at #8 in Canada and reached the #14 spot in Britain; the record included The Mainstream and Modern Rock #1 hit "So Far Away" which also reached the #24 on The Billboard Hot 100; its follow-up single, "Price To Play", hit #2 and #6 respectively on Active and and Modern Rock Tracks charts, one more single cut, "How About You", was played on both alternative and album rock stations, confirming their broad-based appeal.

Staind's latest album, "Chapter V", was released in August 2005, the set features the hit single "Right Here".
