 New York, NY – [May 31, 2019] – Today Shinedown has released the GET UP EP via Atlantic Records, featuring a new acoustic version of their hit crossover anthem “GET UP,” along with the original song and the piano version. PRESS HERE to download/stream the GET UP EP and PRESS HERE to watch the stunning video for “GET UP (Piano Version),” which captures the camaraderie and spirit behind this special song. “‘GET UP’ is a song about empathy, it’s a song about not being afraid to fail, it’s a song about inspiring others and now we want you to hear the song as it began,” says front man Brent Smith. Stripped down and propelled by the undeniable power of Brent’s voice, the acoustic and piano versions highlight the raw vulnerability and poignant message at the core of “GET UP,” which became a crossover hit at Hot AC and has racked up nearly 40 million streams. Speaking to the human spirit in a time of need and inspired by Brent watching his friend, Shinedown bassist Eric Bass, deal with clinical depression, “GET UP” quickly became a beacon of light for listeners around the globe, connecting with both those going through hardships of all types and those supporting loved ones who may be struggling. “GET UP” landed the band on Live with Kelly and Ryan, was heard during the Walter Payton Award during the Super Bowl Pregame show among other television spots, has garnered praise from the likes of Forbes, Huffington Post, Salon, Rolling Stone, Consequence of Sound, Buzzfeed, Parade, Popdust, Grammy.com and more, and broke a new record for Shinedown giving the band the most Rock Airplay Top 10s ever and their 13th #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs Chart (the second most in the history of the chart, tied with Van Halen). The GET UP EP arrives as current rock single “MONSTERS” breaks into the Top 5 as it continues its quick ascent on the Active Rock Chart. Shinedown is also gearing up for the summer leg of their 2019 ATTENTION ATTENTION World Tour which will pick up in The Woodlands, TX on June 21st with support from Badflower, Dinosaur Pile-Up, and Broken Hands.

Shinedown has been selling out arenas and receiving rave reviews during their tour, backed by their biggest, most eye-popping production yet.

Smith’s lyrics reflect a shared experience…pain can be a universal human experience and that sense of unconditional support and solidarity is the driving factor behind the song…” – Salon “Emotional and personal…cinematic and nuanced…’GET UP’ which began as a song written for a friend and bandmate, is now bringing its inspiring message to millions of listeners.” – HuffPost “…[ATTENTION ATTENTION is] a deeply confessional brilliant piece of work…most rock bands don’t possess what Shinedown does – unfathomable talent, an unwavering fan base and unbridled tenacity.” –Buzzfeed “…conviction, authenticity, and real life intensity. Brent Smith and Shinedown are familiar purveyors of all those artistic qualities.” – No Depression  SHINEDOWN TOUR DATES 2019 | June 21 | The Woodlands, TX @ Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion * | | June 23 | Simpsonville, SC @ CCMB Amphitheatre at Heritage Park Simpsonville * | | June 25 | Charlotte, NC @ Charlotte Metro Credit Union Amphitheatre * | | June 26 | Raleigh, NC @ Red Hat Amphitheater * | | June 28 | Holmdel, NJ @ P.N.C.
