Shinedown have released two new songs, “Dance, Kid, Dance” and “Three Six Five.” Both tracks are expected to appear on the group’s new album. Brent Smith said the following about the singles and the band’s upcoming tour:
“We needed to approach everything different this time… The last two albums were both conceptual so it was important for us to really ask ourselves creatively where do we want to go. The answer to that was we want to go everywhere so there was no specific direction. We just started writing, and let the new songs guide us. I also think we stopped saying “why” and started saying “why not?.” When we were thinking about touring, we had certain artists in mind. Instead of being of the mindset that they wouldn’t want to come out to tour with us, we just asked them — and they said yes. Honestly, it’s quite humbling, we are extremely excited for this new chapter, and tour. SO LET’S GO!!!!”
