ShinedownSinger Brent Smith wails and croons on Shinedown's post-grunge groove that tips hats to Soundgarden and, to a smaller extent, Creed. On its third recording, The Sound of Madness, the Florida band isn't afraid to blast out of the gates with full-on rockers and then hit the brakes and slow it down with moody, somber ballads. Not exactly groundbreaking, but they've evolved nicely over the course of three recordings and touring. With Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Amos' Southend (Shukla)
