93X presents Alice In Chains and Breaking Benjamin with special guests Bush.
Alice In Chains was formed in Seattle in 1987, and its versatility cascades across genres from alternative rock and grunge to hard rock, heavy metal and indie rock. The band released its debut album, “Facelift,” in 1990, featuring the hit “Man in the Box,” which was nominated for a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1992 and went on to be the second-most played song on mainstream rock radio of the decade 2010-2019. The band’s second album, “Dirt,” went platinum, climbed Billboard’s mainstream rock chart in 1992, and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1993. To date, the band has garnered 11 Grammy nominations, most recently for Best Rock Album in 2019 for “Ranier Fog,” the group’s sixth studio album. Among the band’s numerous top hits through the years are “Them Bones,” “Rooster,” “Would?,” “No Excuses,” “I Stay Away,” “Grind,” “Again,” “Get Born Again,” “Check My Brain” and “A Looking in View.”
Breaking Benjamin
Since bursting onto the scene with 2002’s “Saturate,” Breaking Benjamin has amassed an impressive string of mainstream rock radio hits with 10 songs hitting No. 1, numerous platinum and multi-platinum songs and albums, 8.5 billion combined streams worldwide and a social imprint of more than 6.5 million. The band’s most recent release, 2020’s “Aurora,” gave Breaking Benjamin its 10th No. 1 song on rock radio with “Far Away ft. Scooter Ward.” The band’s sixth studio album, 2017’s “Ember,” debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 and featured two No. 1 hits on active rock radio, “Red Cold River” and “Torn in Two.” Both “Aurora” and “Ember” topped charts across multiple genres, including top alternative, rock, hard rock and digital albums. Among the band’s other hit albums are “Dark Before Dawn” (2015, which went gold), “Dear Agony” (2009, platinum), and “Phobia” (2006, platinum), all of which debuted in the Top 5 on Billboard’s Top 200.
Bush
With a discography that includes such seminal rock albums as 1994’s six-time platinum-selling “Sixteen Stone,” 1996’s triple-platinum “Razorblade Suitcase” and 1999’s platinum “The Science of Things,” Bush has sold more than 20 million records in the U.S. and Canada alone. The band has also compiled an amazing string of 23 consecutive Top 40 hit singles on the modern rock and mainstream rock charts. Eleven of those hit the Top 5, six of which shot to No. 1: “Comedown,” “Glycerine,” “Machinehead,” “Swallowed,” “The Chemicals Between Us” and “The Sound of Winter.” The latter made rock radio history as the first self-released song ever to hit No. 1 on alternative radio. The song appeared on 2011’s “The Sea of Memories,” Bush’s first studio album in 10 years, as the multi-platinum quartet (vocalist/songwriter/guitarist Gavin Rossdale, guitarist Chris Traynor, bassist Corey Britz and drummer Nik Hughes) picked up where they left off. Bush’s latest album, “The Kingdom,” followed 2017’s “Black And White Rainbows.”
