Shinedown continues to surge ahead towards their next chapter, hitting the road all summer with Bush and releasing searing single after single on their way to a new album, becoming unmissable in 2025. The "Dance, Kid, Dance" band recently stopped by our Helpful Honda Sound Space to talk about it all, and unleash a performance for a packed house of fans that you won't want to miss.

When asked how Shinedown became "a band for everyone," Zach Myers admits it comes down to how they treat each other. "We get along better now than we ever have, and we've never had like a bunch of problems with each other," he shares. "I've always said 'you can fool some of the people some of the time, you can't fool all the people all the time.'"

"I think that subject matter of songs too, you know. We chose not to write songs about getting laid, you know what I mean? We would rather write a song that makes you feel like you can jump through the roof of a building or run through a brick wall than something that's gonna fade," he adds. "I think that combined with just how we treat each other. I think that we are a people's band. I think that people notice that about us when we're on stage together. If you don't notice us having fun, you are not paying attention."

With so much of Shinedown's music playing a huge role in helping the mental wellness of fans, the group was asked what they do for their own mental health. Along with faith and working out, Eric Bass knows it's just about taking each moment as it's own. "It's just one day at a time," he shares. "It's one thing, just take the next step, just one step in front of the other, and I know that's cliche, but stereotypes and cliches are in place for a reason."

"It's one of the positives about being in a band. You're not alone," adds Brent Smith. "You can bounce things off each other."
