During a recent interview with FM 101.9’s James Steele, Shinedown frontman Brent Smith discussed the band’s upcoming plans. Notably, he also revealed that the group have “been working on new material for a while.”
Smith said the following:
“Man, ‘A Symptom Of Being Human’ is taking a very interesting trajectory. We are definitely not off cycle with this song. It’s moving into other formats, which is pretty amazing. But we’re already in the studio. We’ve been working on new material for a while.
We’re starting the architecture on what’s gonna be the international plan for 2025 and 2026 with the band, which is quite massive. We’ve got a handful of shows that we’re gonna be doing this year. Some are already announced, some are gonna be later on, within the next couple of months. And there’s gonna be a lot of stuff that [will be revealed] over time this year.
We’re trying to balance what’s going on at the moment, but we’re always working and we’re always being — it’s always what’s next, what do we have to say, what do we wanna accomplish. So we’re never really off cycle.”
He continued when asked about vacation time:
“I’m no good with vacations. I had a little bit of a vacation during the holidays last year. So I got a little bit of downtime, but there’s a lot going on right now. You kind of have to — when things are moving, you have to stay at the forefront of that. And sometimes, man, you’re holding on. And it’s more about I’m super stoked about the last two decades and where the band has arrived at the moment. But the key to success is to never arrive — there’s always another mountain, there’s always another gear, there’s always another level to go. So here’s to the next 20 [years] and beyond.”
