Staind, P.O.D. Get Anthologized On New Comps

06 October 2006

Rock acts Staind and P.O.D., who both rose to fame in the late 1990s, will be anthologized on separate compilations this fall. First up is Staind's "The Singles 1996-2006," due Nov. 14 via Flip/Atlantic. A DVD, "Staind: The Videos," will arrive the same day.

The "Singles" CD begins with a new remix of the track "Come Again," which previously appeared on the band's 1996 indie debut, "Tormented." In addition to rock radio hits such as "It's Been Awhile," "Everything Changes," "Right Here" and "Outside," the disc sports four tracks recorded last month during an acoustic show at New York's Hiro Ballroom: "Everything Changes" and covers of Tool's "Sober," Alice In Chains' "Nutshell" and Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb."

The DVD rounds up 14 clips, including rarely seen videos for "Just Go" and "Epiphany," the latter starring actor Billy Zane. Staind is winding down a fall tour that will visit Beaumont, Texas, tomorrow (Oct. 6). Before year's end, frontman Aaron Lewis will embark on a solo tour, which will dovetail into work on his first solo album.

Meanwhile, P.O.D.'s "Greatest Hits (The Atlantic Years)" is due Nov. 21 via Atlantic/Rhino. The 17-track set will include an as-yet-unnamed new song recorded last month with producer Travis Wyrick, plus the track "Here We Go," an outtake from sessions for the band's Atlantic swansong, "Testify."

The band reports on its Web site that is has been "taking meetings with various record labels. There are also discussions within their management team about developing their own independent model." P.O.D. will spend the fall working on its next album, which it hopes to release next spring.
