I want it to be both light and dark, dynamic and unpredictable.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a sentiment that runs deep in their sound, where each track takes on a life of its own, exploring contrasting moods and textures that reveal more with every listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With&nbsp;<strong>Windstein<\/strong>&#8216;s earth-shaking riffs and&nbsp;<strong>Hickey<\/strong>&#8216;s evocative, often ethereal melodies, the band strikes a delicate balance between heavy and haunting.&nbsp;<strong>Kelly<\/strong>&#8216;s drumming keeps things tight but never feels constrained, while&nbsp;<strong>Strange<\/strong>&#8216;s bass lines act as the backbone, holding down the bottom end with a ferocity only years in the rock trenches can cultivate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet what truly sets&nbsp;<strong>SUN DONT SHINE<\/strong>&nbsp;apart is the chemistry among its members. You can hear it in every note, a raw, almost unfiltered energy that comes from playing with people who have been through it all together \u2014 both the highs and the lows. Their music is about embracing imperfections and channeling them into something transcendent, capturing a moment rather than chasing perfection. It&#8217;s messy, it&#8217;s visceral, and it&#8217;s real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group&#8217;s dynamic blend of heaviness and atmospheric nuance makes them a standout, but&nbsp;<strong>SUN DONT SHINE<\/strong>&#8216;s identity goes deeper than their sound. With influences spanning everything from&nbsp;<strong>BLACK SABBATH<\/strong>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<strong>THE BEATLES<\/strong>, their music tells stories of resilience, reflection, and catharsis. Every song feels like a journey, guided by a sense of purpose that&#8217;s as intense as it is unpredictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For&nbsp;<strong>Windstein<\/strong>&nbsp;it&#8217;s about &#8220;breaking new ground.&#8221; Whether they&#8217;re delving into bone-crushing riffs or taking a melodic detour,&nbsp;<strong>SUN DONT SHINE<\/strong>&nbsp;is less concerned with fitting into a genre and more focused on creating music that resonates with their own experience and emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking to\u00a0<strong>Meltdown<\/strong>\u00a0of Detroit&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>WRIF<\/strong>\u00a0radio station,\u00a0<strong>Kelly<\/strong>\u00a0stated about how\u00a0<strong>SUN DONT SHINE<\/strong>\u00a0came together: &#8220;That was started with\u00a0<strong>Andrew Spaulding<\/strong>. I met him; he was a merchandiser for\u00a0<strong>DANZIG<\/strong>. And then\u00a0<strong>TYPE O<\/strong>\u00a0went on tour after that. We brought him out and he worked with\u00a0<strong>TYPE O<\/strong>\u00a0up until\u00a0<strong>Peter<\/strong>\u00a0[<strong>Steele<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>TYPE O NEGATIVE<\/strong>\u00a0frontman] passed away. And we all remained good friends and stuff. And he started an indie label; he started a small little label. And he suggested putting me and\u00a0<strong>Kenny<\/strong>\u00a0together with\u00a0<strong>Kirk Windstein<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Todd Strange<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0<strong>CROWBAR<\/strong>. We&#8217;ve all been friends \u2014 I&#8217;ve known\u00a0<strong>Kirk<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Todd<\/strong>\u00a0for, like, 30 years at this point. So we&#8217;ve always been friends and we&#8217;ve always crossed paths and hung out and this and that but never really had the opportunity to get in a room and play together. And\u00a0<strong>Drew<\/strong>\u00a0had it worked out. We all met in Florida. We got into a room, came up with that song, recorded it the next day, and that was it; it was done.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the name change from\u00a0<strong>EYE AM<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0<strong>SUN DONT SHINE<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Hickey<\/strong>\u00a0told\u00a0<strong>Revolver<\/strong>\u00a0magazine: &#8220;There was another metal band called\u00a0<strong>I AM<\/strong>, and also a rap band called\u00a0<strong>EYEAM<\/strong>, spelled exactly like [us] on\u00a0<strong>Spotify<\/strong>. We did try to trademark the name, but we found out that the rapper owned it. So, we were not able to go forward. But that was just a mock-up name that Andrew came up with, you know what I mean? We didn&#8217;t figure we were gonna even\u00a0<em>be<\/em>\u00a0a band, you know? So, when it actually became serious, and we had plans to actually put something out, we needed an actual name that could work, and that we could own the trademark to. Same thing happened with\u00a0<strong>TYPE O<\/strong>\u00a0back in the day. We were called\u00a0<strong>SUB-ZERO<\/strong>, but there was another band named\u00a0<strong>SUB-ZERO<\/strong>\u00a0and they threatened [to sue]. We had to change it. We had all gotten the negative tattoos already \u2014 you know, &#8216;Sub-Zero&#8217; \u2014 and then history [became] history. It ended up being\u00a0<strong>TYPE O NEGATIVE<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to their work with&nbsp;<strong>TYPE O NEGATIVE<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Hickey<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Kelly<\/strong>&nbsp;had previously collaborated in a band called&nbsp;<strong>SEVENTH VOID<\/strong>, which released one full-length album,&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Heaven Is Gone&#8221;<\/strong>, in 2009, and&nbsp;<strong>SILVERTOMB<\/strong>, which issued&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Edge Of Existence&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Original&nbsp;<strong>CROWBAR<\/strong>&nbsp;bassist&nbsp;<strong>Strange<\/strong>&nbsp;returned to the band in 2016 for the touring cycle in support of the band&#8217;s&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;The Serpent Only Lies&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Strange<\/strong>, who originally left&nbsp;<strong>CROWBAR<\/strong>&nbsp;back in 1999, stuck around for two years before departing once again to focus on his family life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Windstein<\/strong>, who also plays in the New Orleans supergroup&nbsp;<strong>DOWN<\/strong>, released two albums with&nbsp;<strong>HATEBREED<\/strong>&#8216;s&nbsp;<strong>Jamey Jasta<\/strong>&nbsp;under the&nbsp;<strong>KINGDOM OF SORROW<\/strong>&nbsp;banner.
