NEW YORK (By Ashley White/ Atlantic Records) - "Right Here," the first of three hit tracks from Staind's current RIAA platinum-certified album, "CHAPTER V" (Flip/Atlantic), continues its remarkable reign at radio, nearly one full year after its initial release. The single - which started out as a No 1 multi-format rock smash and has been in the top ten on the Hot AC charts for the past two months - has broken into the Top 10 on the national mainstream pop charts. "
Right Here" marked the band's fourth No 1 rock radio track to date, following "For You," "It's Been Awhile," and "So Far Away."
Staind is currently gearing up to headline the upcoming Jagermeister Music Tour. The trek will see the Massachusetts-based band performing tracks spanning their multi-platinum career. Joining Staind on the Jagermeister Music Tour will be Three Days Grace and Hurt. The roadshow will kick off on April 20th at McAllen, Texas' La Villa Real Special Events Center and then travel the country through mid-June. (see attached itinerary)
In addition to the upcoming Jagermeister Music Tour dates, Staind has also signed on for performances at a number of major festival events, including the 98 ROCK Livestock Festival in Zephyr Hills, Florida on April 29th, and the Real Rock 101 Earthday Birthday in Orlando, Florida, set for April 30th. On May 7th, the band will hit Memphis for an appearance at the annual Beale Street Music Festival, and they will headline the X-103 MayDay concert in Indianapolis on May 27th. Upon the conclusion of the Jagermeister Music Tour dates, Staind has scheduled two further festival appearances - BayFest Hawaii on July 2nd and Cadott, Wisconsin's Rock Fest 2006 on July 23rd.
Released in August 2005, "CHAPTER V," the fifth album from Staind, debuted at No 1 on the Billboard 200, marking the band's third consecutive chart-topper. The album has thus far yielded three radio smashes - the No 1 multi-format smash, "Right Here," the top ten rock track "Falling," and the latest single, "Everything Changes," which is currently bulleting up the rock radio charts.
The album - produced by David Bottrill (Tool, Godsmack) -- follows 2003's critically acclaimed "14 SHADES OF GREY" and 2001's quintuple platinum "BREAK THE CYCLE," both of which also entered the Billboard 200 in the No 1 spot.
