In this episode of Tuna On Toast, Stryker interviews Brent Smith, lead singer of Shinedown! Brent starts out talking about an elderly fan who recently went viral because of her love for Shinedown and "The Sound of Madness". He also discusses the band’s hugely popular 2008 album, ‘The Sound of Madness,’ and why it was such a major moment in Shinedown’s career. Brent looks back on his early days, his upbringing, and the band he was in before Shinedown. Brent opens up to Stryker about his previous battles with addiction and his journey to sobriety. He also tells Stryker about his friend Jellyroll and explains why he’s so happy to see the singer’s success. Shinedown’s song “A Symptom of Being Human” is a huge radio hit for the band, and Brent tells Stryker all about how it came together. Brent also discusses the ‘90s rock bands who influenced him and reveals who would be on his ‘90s rock Mount Rushmore. Shinedown has toured with some legendary acts, including Van Halen and Kiss, and Brent explains how he learned from every experience. Towards the end of the interview, Brent even reveals that Shinedown is working on new music! Subscribe to Tuna On Toast, follow us on socials, and thanks for supporting the show!
