Plush (Pavement Entertainment). Review by Christopher Long.

Staind is one of the few hard rock bands from the mid-90s to actually still be making legit music today. So 17 years after their inception, is their first live DVD worth the wait? Tim Wardyn thinks so…sort of.

Staind challenges the foundation of Chicago’s Congress Theater. Cindy Barrymore dons her helmet and boots and marches deep into the trenches.

Fresh off an acoustic tour supporting Aaron Lewis of Staind, Pete Murray sheds light on the shadowy world of the music industry, why Lo-Pro was suddenly and unexpectedly dropped from 413 Records (Geffen), and the group’s plans for the future without a record label.

Lead singer of Staind , Aaron Lewis, played an intimate acoustic show in Times Square, New York City with the support of Lo-Pro. Mark Fredrickson was there.
