DOMKcast with Brent Smith of Shinedown 4.26

How do you get Brent Smith of Shinedown to be taken a-back by
anything? That moment happened in a new episode of the DOMKcast.
Promo Brady sharing with Brent his daughters interpretation of the
song "Get Up" was spot on and everything that is trying to be
conveyed. The simple message of getting up after failures and
trying again is a powerful one. The song was written about
Shinedown bassist Eric Bass who has had his battles with clinical
depression over the years. The subject of anxiety and depression
has been brought up in a different light lately due to the chatter
coming more from a place of understanding than judgement. This is a
condition that many deal with in the U.S. One of the main messages
in Shinedown's latest album "Attention, Attention" is a person's
journey to conquering demons in their life. Brent Smith reflect's
on the success of the album coming up on the year anniversary of
the release.

Title track of the album showcases Brent's rapping abilities. We
did a deep-dive into his hip-hop influences and what made him want
to include some rap in his work. Perhaps a new fan favorite as he
plans on including the song in the set at Rocklahoma this year
Memorial Day Weekend in Pryor, USA.

The landscape of the music business has changed since Shinedown
emerged in the early 2000's. Streaming services have put their
footprint on today's culture making music more accessible than
ever. How has Shinedown adapted over the years? Brent makes the
point that the industry has shifted and you have to pivot with it.
Focusing more on live shows these days can be beneficial and sound
advice for any band. See Shinedown at Rocklahoma this year. Hear
the full conversation with Brent Smith on episode 96 of the
DOMKcast. #DOMKRock
