Shinedown and Puddle of Mudd

Shinedown’s third album, The Sound Of Madness, is the Florida rockers’ boldest effort to date. Like its two predecessors, 2003’s Platinum Leave A Whisper and 2005’s Gold Us And Them, The Sound Of Madness offers a brave and unsparing look into the soul and psyche amidst a fierce musical attack that, even in its quieter moments, vibrate with the passion, energy and focus of a band with highminded ideals and limitless ambitions.

Meanwhile, on December 8, Puddle of Mudd will release their fourth studio album, Volume 4: Songs in the Key of Love & Hate, featuring the smash hit single "Spaceship."
