i’m 16 and staind is my favorite band of all time, i have dysfunction, break the cycle, and 14 shades on cd as well as the 25th anniversary of btc on vinyl and tormented burned, so i’m no stranger to their music at all. i also have apple music so literally almost every song ever is at my disposal. i had asked if i could go to the show in birmingham in march and my mom said no because she doesn’t want to “give money to people like that who make that bad music” even though when i play their hits like it’s been awhile and right here she sings along with them and likes them. she also said she doesn’t like the “crowd” that that type of music brings even though im assuming most of yall are decently old and not the crazy crowds that staind formed with. ive also been playing their more calm songs in the car too like zoe jane, everything changes, and something to remind you. my main reason for posting this is if anyone has any advice as to things i could to that maybe would make my parents come around to letting me go. they also did this last year with a tool concert but i ended up being able to go. (itd be a 4 hour drive from where ill be living too which she’s said is another reason but i can’t really do much for that other than try and convince them that its worth it because im not sure id have them come any closer than that)

The new Staind album will be titled The Space Between The Darkness And The Light. The release date hasn't been announced yet but the title was revealed by Aaron Lewis in an interview with Audacy
