SHINEDOWN Performs Acoustically On CBS' 'Early Show'; Video Available

April 19, 2009

As part of the CBS "Early Show"'s "Second Cup Cafe" series, Jacksonville, Florida-based hard rock/post-grunge band SHINEDOWN played live yesterday morning (Saturday, April 18). The group performed "Second Chance" acoustically as well as a couple other teasers throughout the show.

Watch video footage of the performance below.

SHINEDOWN has selected the title track from its latest album, "The Sound Of Madness", as the next single from the disc. "The Sound Of Madness" follows "Second Chance", the CD's second single, which recently topped the rock radio charts. Brent Smith told The Pulse of Radio that "The Sound Of Madness" doesn't have the same uplifting message as its predecessor. "People always have a person that they see self-destructing themselves, and at a point in time, you get over trying to make them understand," he said. "And as you help them, they keep constantly just going downhill. And it's this song where it's the person telling the other person, 'You know what? I know that you've gone through all this stuff, I know that it's hard, but I've gone through the same thing that you've gone through.'"

"The Sound of Madness", SHINEDOWN's third studio effort, has sold more than 300,000 copies in the U.S. since coming out last June.
