Staind Vinyl Records

Staind is an American rock band from Springfield, Massachusetts, formed in 1995 by Aaron Lewis (vocals, guitar), Michael Anthony (guitar), Jon Wysocki (bass), and Sal Gianerra (drums). Initially, the group was known as "The Day That Never Comes" before adopting their current name. Their unique blend of post-grunge and alternative rock led to a string of successful albums and singles throughout the 2000s.

Staind's self-titled debut album arrived in 1996, but it was their second effort, "Dysfunction", released in 1999, that gained significant attention. The album's lead single, "Just Bring Me Home", received moderate airplay on mainstream radio stations. The band's third studio album, "Break the Cycle", catapulted them to stardom with the hit singles "It's Been Awhile" and "Fade". This marked a turning point in their career, as they became one of the most popular rock bands of the early 2000s.

In 2011, Staind went on hiatus, allowing the individual members to pursue other projects. Aaron Lewis, for instance, released his debut country album "Townsend" and toured with Taylor Swift's "Speak Now World Tour". The band reunited in 2017 and has since released several successful singles, including "Not Again" and "Precious". Staind continues to perform live and produce new music, maintaining their reputation as one of the most enduring rock bands of the modern era.
