Sevendust, 10 Years, Black Stone Cherry and Aranda Join ShipRocked!

Mon, May 24, 2010

Just when you thought the ultimate rock and roll vacation couldn't get any bigger, better or harder, along come four Southern based bands to round out the ShipRocked 2010 lineup and to rock our collective asses in November!

Sevendust, 10 Years, Black Stone Cherry and Aranda Join ShipRocked!

Atlanta's own SEVENDUST lead the way, having recently released their infections seventh studio album Hope & Sorrow, which features the hit single "Unraveling." Be sure to catch them this weekend at Rock On The Range, and next weekend at Rocklahoma. Then all summer long, they'll be touring as part of the Carnival Of Madness Tour, with Shinedown, Chevelle, Puddle Of Mudd, and... 10 Years!

10 YEARS hail from Knoxville, Tennessee, and join the ShipRocked lineup just as they are putting the finishing touches on their third album Feeding The Wolves. The highly anticipated project is being helmed by Grammy nominated producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Flyleaf, Seether). The band will also be on the road as part of the Carnival Of Madness Tour!

BLACK STONE CHERRY might be from Kentucky, but they have toured the world over, delivering their Southern heritage with a mix of heavy, loud guitars, larger than life drumming and lyrical storytelling. Their latest album Folklore and Superstition enlisted famed rock producer Bob Marlette (Ozzy, Shinedown, Quiet Riot), to help meld the traditions of their roots, with some vintage arena rock. Wait until you see these boys play!

Listening to Oklahoma City's
ARANDA is something like hearing an explosive hybrid of the atom bomb and all of Woodstock combined. They are an experience. Brothers Dameon and Gabe are no strangers to sharing the stage with big names in rock: during the past year, they have performed with hit bands such as the All American Rejects, Saliva, Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, Theory of a Deadman, and Black Stone Cherry.

ShipRocked couldn't be more proud to add these four amazing bands to our lineup for 2010, which of course already includes Cinderella, Vince Neil, Tesla, Drowning Pool, and HAIL! featuring Dave Ellefson of Megadeth, Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, Andreas Kisser of Sepultura, and Tim "Ripper" Owens. Onboard you'll also see The Letter Black featuring Mark "Traa" Daniels from P.O.D., LYNAM, Broken Teeth, Niki Barr Band and Pianotarium! -- Seriously... how kick ass is this lineup?!?!
