STAIND To Release Retrospective Collection Next Month

October 4, 2006

According to MTV.com, STAIND will issue a retrospective collection next month called "The Singles", featuring tons of bonus material that singer Aaron Lewis said should tide fans over "while we go away for a minute, and begin working on our next album." The disc will boast all of STAIND's singles, as well as a DVD featuring the companion music videos for each track.

Some of the bonus material that's likely to make the package's final track list will be live, acoustic tunes the band recorded last month during a private concert at New York's Hiro Ballroom. Members of the band's fan club were invited to the gig, during which STAIND performed a number of covers, including TOOL's "Sober" and ALICE IN CHAINS' "Nutshell".

Lewis also has plans to hit the road soon for a run of solo shows that includes a five-night stand at Connecticut's Mohegan Sun that starts December 27. He also plans to record his first solo album shortly and does have some material written for that. "I don't want to have to put it out on a particular label because I have to," he said. "I want the same fair shake as everyone else, and have anyone who's interested in it, be interested in it, and be able to paint the best picture I can paint. I've been writing songs over the years that never came to the table with STAIND."
