Following a landmark year that included back-to-back #1 singles at Active Rock with “ARTIFICIAL” and “PIECES,” and sold-out tours with Breaking Benjamin, Staind, and Disturbed, multi-platinum rock band Daughtry is keeping up the momentum with the announcement of their upcoming EP SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM (PART TWO), arriving September 12 via Big Machine Rock. Pre-save HERE.
Following the April release of the haunting “THE DAY I DIE” which set the tone for this next chapter, Daughtry delivers another bold preview today with new single “THE BOTTOM”, available now on all platforms. Built on a swaggering groove that cuts through a haze of distortion, “THE BOTTOM” finds Chris Daughtry flexing his vocal range with a hypnotic cadence as he confesses, “I was down in a hole until I clawed my way back from the bottom.” The track captures the raw honesty and sonic intensity that define SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM (PART TWO) and gives fans a deeper glimpse into the EP’s emotional core. Listen to “THE BOTTOM” HERE.
“SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM is about facing the things we’ve ignored and confronting the wake-up calls that force us to go deeper and get honest,” says Chris Daughtry. “These songs unlocked something in me as a writer and a human being. PART TWO is the result of that journey.”
SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM (PART ONE) delivered major milestones for the band, scoring their first-ever #1 at Active Rock with “ARTIFICIAL”, followed by another #1 with “PIECES.” The project drew widespread praise from outlets such as Billboard and Spin, who highlighted the palpable heaviness and fearless creative evolution of this new era.
