STAIND: New Album To Receive European Release Through ROADRUNNER

June 24, 2008

Springfield, Massachusetts natives STAIND will release their brand new record, "The Illusion of Progress", through Roadrunner Records in Europe on September 8.

In a special launch with MySpace, you can hear the new single "Believe" online now at: www.myspace.com/staind. The band is set to shoot a video for the song in Los Angeles this Wednesday, June 25, with director Chris Simms (LAMB OF GOD, JIMMY EAT WORLD).

"The Illusion of Progress" was produced by Johnny K (PLAIN WHITE T'S, KILL HANNAH, DISTURBED) and recorded in the home studio of STAIND vocalist Aaron Lewis, with the original band lineup, including Mike Mushok (guitar),Jon Wysocki (drums, percussion) and Johnny April (bass, vocals). The band calls the new project the "most musical CD" it's recorded to date, and has been treating its fans to a series of intimate, behind-the-scenes "webisodes" documenting the recording process.

Comments Lewis: "We went into the studio with the mindset of making our heaviest record yet, but the record that came out has flavors of PINK FLOYD and straight-up blues. We didn't use the same rigs that we use onstage; we used all vintage guitars and amps, and I'm pretty psyched about it! The songs are pretty timeless in their texture."

STAIND will be touring the U.S. this summer with 3 DOORS DOWN, but will return to the UK in September supporting NICKELBACK. Tickets are on sale now for the following shows:

Sep. 12 - Belfast Odyssey
Sep. 13 - Dublin RDS Simmonscourt
Sep. 15 - Manchester MEN
Sep. 16 - Sheffield Arena
Sep. 18 - Birmingham NEC
Sep. 19 - London O2 Arena
