STAIND has released an animated music video for the song “Better Days” featuring Dorothy. The track is taken from the band’s latest album, “Confessions Of The Fallen”, which arrived last September
“Better Days”, an emotionally charged power ballad that is classic STAIND, marks the first time the band has a featured artist on a song. Singer and namesake of her Los Angeles rock band, Dorothy brings her powerhouse vocals alongside STAIND frontman Aaron Lewis, taking the sentiment of the song to the next level.
“This was a departure for me,” says Lewis. “It’s really the first time STAIND explored a feature with a female guest vocalist. Once we started tracking, I could tell the synergy was there. We didn’t have to pick harmonies, we didn’t have to analyze parts, they just happened. I’m stoked to have Dorothy on this single with me. Her talent and voice are incredible.”
“I had a great time tracking ‘Better Days’,” adds Dorothy. “It’s a beautiful song and I hope fans connect with it. I’m so grateful to Aaron for the opportunity.”
“Better Days” is the third rock song released from “Confessions Of The Fallen”. The first two singles, “Lowest In Me” and “Here And Now”, reached No. 1 on Active Rock chart.
See STAIND live on the “Tailgate” tour with special guests SEETHER, SAINT ASONIA and Tim Montana beginning on April 22 in Brandon, Mississippi.

Among these is their self-titled effort in 2011, which showcased the band’s evolution and versatility. Throughout their first two decades, STAIND produced a string of hit songs, including the chart-topping “It’s Been Awhile” from their No. 1 album “Break The Cycle.” Additionally, follow-up albums “14 Shades Of Grey” and “Chapter V” both reached the pinnacle of the Billboard chart, solidifying the band’s status as a powerhouse in the rock genre.
After a hiatus, STAIND made a triumphant return with their first album in nine years, “Live: It’s Been Awhile,” released in May 2021 via Yap’em/Alchemy Recordings.
