http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6599&rws=%2Fstaind%2Ftop-tracks.rssFormed by two like-minded nu metal buds in Springfield, Mass., in 1995, Staind grabbed the attention of Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst and the rest -- as they say -- is history. Prior to signing to a major label, the band was ignored by the Boston scene. They ended up playing lower-profile but frequent gigs in Western Mass, their dark sound benefiting from edgy, melodic vocals (somewhat like Alice In Chains) that ride over heavy, groove-oriented metal. Their frequent touring strategy paid off: after seeing the Staind open up a show for him, Durst took them under his wing. They released <I>Dysfunction</I> on Elektra in 1999, but their big breakthrough was <I>Break the Cycle</I>, which came out in 2002 and yielded the mega-mega seller "It's Been Awhile." In 2005, the band set its sights on the commercial alternative charts with <I>Chapter V</I>. - Jessy TerryAlt Metalen720Thu, 24 Dec 2009 03:49:39 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6599&rws=%2Fstaind%2Ftop-tracks.rss Formed by two like-minded nu metal buds in Springfield, Mass., in 1995, Staind grabbed the attention of Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst and the rest -- as they say -- is history.
