Everything began back in 2000, when “Dreve,” the former band of vocalist Brent Smith, got a record contract with Atlantic Records.
The band was disbanded by the record company before the release of an album because they were dissatisfied with Dreve as a whole, but Smith was kept since they thought he merited being developed as a solo artist.
Record industry professionals assisted Smith with his songwriting skills and helped him find members for a new band that would eventually become Shinedown after signing him to a development agreement with Atlantic.
In 2001, Smith relocated to Jacksonville, Florida, and started working on the project.
Brad Stewart, a bassist, was the first person he brought on board, thanks to Pete Thornton, a local Jacksonville music producer.
In a tiny local studio, Smith and Stewart started working on recordings; the proprietor of the studio suggested they meet with the guitarist Jasin Todd, who Smith added to the group as the third member.
