Apologize for the lack of updates, Aaron and Staind have been extremely busy themselves performing at scattered festival shows this month, promoting the new album with almost constant interviews, and touring the UK next month. Truth be told so much has been happening it's almost too hard to keep up. Check out all the articles and interviews below of what all has been going on, also hope you caught them on Fuse's Top 20 Countdown last night talking about the Not Again video.

Release Day

It has arrived, treat yourself today and pick up Staind's new self titled album. Aaron and Mike also recently did interviews about it.

Also, be sure to tune in to their 9/11 benefit concert streaming online via Ustream on Thursday Sept. 15th.

Almost release day

Sept. 13th is on the horizon as is the release of Staind's seventh and self titled album. ESPN is offering a free preview before it's release. Reports speculate the future of Staind is grim if non-existent after this album and the DVD with it is to show some combustible elements of the process of the record and to them as a band. Regardless of what the future holds I thank Aaron, Mike, Johnny, and Jon for all their years of service and entertainment to the fans and will continue to support the paths all of them take. If Aaron continues his country efforts this blog will support him all the way and looks forward to more he brings to the table. With or without the talent, his heart and evolution as a man and artist is admirable and this writer appreciates all he has done and continues to do.

With all that said, the album is looking to have rave reviews. Also, it looks like Kevin Curry is the Not Again solo winner, congrats to him if this is the case.

Staind is the artist of the week this week at Aceshowbiz and will be for HardRockRadio next week.
