New York, NY – [July 2, 2019] – Multi-platinum rock band Shinedown has unveiled their new animated video for their explosive new single “MONSTERS.” The track, which is #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs Chart for the second week in a row, explores the ever-present demons and self-sabotaging inner voices that we all battle. “The masks represent the parts of your psyche that make you afraid of who you are,” frontman Brent Smith explains. “Inside of that, from an album standpoint, ATTENTION ATTENTION is all about not being afraid to fail and not being afraid period because you’re not going to be defined by your failures, you will be defined by the fact that you refuse to give up. Your monsters may be real, but that doesn’t mean you have to give into them.”
The #1 Active Rock radio single, “MONSTERS,” brings Shinedown’s total #1s at the format to 15. “MONSTERS” scores Shinedown their 14th #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs Chart, the second most in chart history, and continues their record of the most Rock Airplay Top 10s ever. Every one of Shinedown’s 25 consecutive singles has reached Top 5 on the Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart, an unparalleled achievement. “MONSTERS” has already amassed nearly 15 million streams and counting.
