Brand: 3 DOORS DOWN
Time of My Life
About the Artist Time of My Life is an exhilarating, pivotal album from a band bred to exceed expectations every time they step in to the studio. Aptly titled, 3 Doors Down's fifth career studio effort soars on the collective ethos of a dedicated band doing what they were destined to do. And then some... "We're a solid, no frills rock band with deep friendships and a good understanding of what it takes to keep the fire going," declares bassist Todd Harrell. Translation: They answer only to their fans...and each other. Front man, Brad Arnold wouldn't have it any other way. "Friends, road warriors, band of brothers, call us whatever you want," says the lead vocalist and lyricist, "What makes me so proud of this album is how it seems to put a stamp on all the years, all the ups and downs we've been through, and cuts some new ground for us. No matter where we're at or how we come at you, at our core is still the burning desire to give our fans the best we can give." And it's a pact that the core founding-brothers of this Mississippi quintet - Brad Arnold, lead guitarist Matt Roberts, bassist Todd Harrell and guitarist Chris Henderson made way back in grade school. Back when life was still a `pick-up' game of fast but loyal friends nurturing just a glint of the dream that would eventually make them one of the world's most respected and enduring rock bands. With the 3 Doors Down shingle hanging 16 years and counting, joined by firebrand drummer Greg Upchurch in 2005, 3 Doors Down remains as true to the inspiring roots forged in those breakout days back in Escatawpa, Mississippi as the day they launched. The proof is in the multiple new signature songs overflowing on this 2011 treasure chest. Test ride the searing title track "Time Of My Life," the full-throttled `band favorite,' "Round And Round," or the powerful ballad, "Back to Me.". The album's initial offering to fans and radio, "When You're Young," sent online followers searching for adjectives that accurately reflected that magical 3 Doors Down territory, noting the band's colorful past and their take-no-prisoners attitude toward the future. The group is also joined this time round by world-class record producer Howard Benson (Daughtry, Theory Of A Deadman, Apocolyptica). "It's an album from the heart and the soul," says Brad. "There's a song on the album called `Race For The Sun,' that kind of sums it all up for me. I wrote it about those earliest days when we'd gig in Biloxi, and we'd be walking back from a show with the sun just coming up - I couldn't wait for the day to come so I could hear what our friends and fans had to say about last night's show, about what we meant as a band, even then, to our fans and each other." Only 32 years old, Brad calculates he and most of `3 Doors' have been playing music for, amazingly, nearly twenty years, and are recognized as one of rock's pinnacle touring and recording entities for a decade-plus. From that first explosive burst of "Kryptonite" which ignited their storied career at the top of last decade, to subsequent multi-platinum albums, and a non-stop touring regimen that finds them still notching shows around the world at a record pace, the group has also earned a hard-fought pedigree as one of Rock's most exciting and authentic radio icons. Their impressive and steady ascension up the ladder has seen them score multiple #1 hits, snag several Billboard and other awards, and log scores of sold-out shows over a growing global terrain that is nearing forty countries. Their most recent self-titled 2008 album, 3 Doors Down, debuted at the #1 spot on Billboard's Top 200, as did 2005's Seventeen Days, cementing them as one of this generation's battle-tested Rock bands. Secure with their growing and genre-expanding song catalogue, bolstered by one of the decade's sturdiest live Rock legacies, has not only garnered them kudos from fans and critics, but turned heads of much sought-after producers like Benson.
