Staind Release New Single 'Here And Now,' Accompanying Video

Multi-platinum rock band Staind recently released a new single, "Here and Now," and an accompanying video.

"Here and Now," which is an emotionally charged ballad, is the fourth track from the band's forthcoming album, Confessions of the Fallen, due out on September 22nd via Alchemy Recordings/BMG.

The video, directed by Bradley Golowin, nicely captures the joy and pain of real-life moments that shape us all. The performance footage of the band further boosts the intensity of the song.

"Here and now/After everything we thought we knew," frontman Aaron Lewis sings in the chorus. "Broken lies and shattered truths/Lost and found/Every memory that's bleeding through/They all just seem to lead me back to you."

Staind previously released "In This Condition," "Cycle of Hurting" and debut single, "Lowest In Me" from the upcoming album. "Lowest In Me" reached No. 1 for two consecutive weeks at active rock and Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.

Confessions of the Fallen is Staind's first studio album in 12 years.

Avril Lavigne Joins Forces With All Time Low On 'Fake As Hell'

Avril Lavigne have teamed up with All Time Low for a new song, "Fake As Hell."

"'Fake As Hell' is a song about recognizing what's real and saying goodbye to what's not - it's about cutting ties with people and things that don't lift you up and help you progress," said All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth.

He added, "It's a wave goodbye to whatever's in the rear-view mirror and a new perspective on the road ahead. Collaborating on this one with Avril is a dream realized, and getting to watch her do what she does best in the studio was crazy inspiring."

Lavigne released her latest album, Love Sux, in 2022.

"Fake As Hell" follows All Time Low's album Tell Me I'm Alive, which was released in March and includes the singles "Sleepwalking" and "Calm Down."

All Time Low is currently on tour with Gym Class Heroes, Grayscale, and Lauren Hibberd.
