Shinedown – Attention Attention – New Album

Multi-platinum rock band Shinedown has released their acclaimed 6^thstudio album ATTENTION ATTENTION via Atlantic Records. Lead single “DEVIL” hit #1 at Active Rock this week, bringing the band’s total #1s to 13. Every one of their 23 singles throughout their career have reached Top 5 on the Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart – a feat unmatched by any other band.

The gripping video for “DEVIL” immediately landed on the Spotify Global Viral 50 Chart and has already racked up more than 6 million streams worldwide and more than 4 million YouTube views.

ATTENTION ATTENTION is urgent, intense, uplifting and encouraging, showcasing Shinedown’s heart and depth like never before and inviting the listener to place themselves inside of the album. It tells the story of an individual’s psychological journey from life’s lowest lows to the highest highs as anxieties dissipate and demons disappear – a poignant and enduring statement about our will to overcome that touches on topics such as mental health, facing fears, staying positive, leaning on one another, pitfalls of social media and the resolve of the human spirit. Given the deeply personal nature of the record, Shinedown went in-house for production for the first time ever, enlisting bassist Eric Bass to produce and mix the album in its entirety.

With a symphony of thought-provoking lyrics, stadium-size, explosive guitars, unpredictable rhythms, and cinematic flourishes, ATTENTION ATTENTION ushers in the band’s biggest and boldest chapter yet. Shinedown – Brent Smith [vocals], Zach Myers [guitar], Eric Bass [bass, production], and Barry Kerch [drums] – has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, has 11 platinum and gold singles and four platinum and gold albums, and averages nearly 4 million monthly listeners on Spotify as one of the most-listened-to rock bands on the platform with over 600 million streams, contributing to their more than 1 billion total overall streams to date.
