Breaking Benjamin’s latest release, Phobia, the meticulously rocking milestone builds on their trademark hard-charging rhythms, sharp hooks, and soaring vocals. Phobia elevates the bar in following up 2004's explosive platinum-selling We Are Not Alone, which produced a pair of compelling #1 rock hits, "So Cold" and "Sooner Or Later." On the strength of the quartet's first hit, "Polyamorous," from its 2002 major label debut Saturate, the group's alt-metal leanings--inspired by the likes of Tool, Korn, and Nirvana--earned the band prompt recognition. After a soldout arena tour this past spring, platinum-selling rock band Three Days Grace has emerged as one of the top bands in the country. Last year they released their sophomore album One-X ,which debuted at No. 5 on the Top 200 chart. Their first single from the album, Animal I’ve Become, won the Billboard Award for “Rock Song of The Year,” and was also the No. 1 song overall at the Active Rock format, and No. 2 song overall at Alternative Rock for 2006. The second track to be released from One-X was “Pain” which stayed at No. 1 on the Alternative Rock chart for four weeks and the Active Rock chart for 10 weeks. Never Too Late, the band’s latest offering, is in the Top 10 and climbing on both the Active Rock and the Alternative Rock Charts. SEETHER’S current and third single from Karma and Effect, “The Gift” is in the Top 10 at rock radio, and it shows promise as a crossover hit to pop radio. One Cold Night, the new live acoustic CD reveals a new intimate side to their heavy-hitting sound. One Cold Night features hits from the band’s gold certified debut albums Disclaimer and Disclaimer II and their current release, the gold certified Karma and Effect. Included on the CD are Seether’s biggest hits “Remedy,” “Fine Again” and “Broken.” Discovery Bunch - When Autumn Falls by Kelli Nidey - Gather around for story time and hands-on learning!
