Springfield, United States (1995 – present)
Staind formed on November 24, 1995 in Springfield, Massachusetts. After meeting through friends and covering KoRn, Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains, among others, in smalltime clubs for a year and a half, Staind self-released their debut album, Tormented, in November 1996, citing influences Pantera and Sepultura. Until recently, the album was difficult to obtain, as only four thousand copies were originally sold. Since then, the band’s official website has released the album to meet the demand from fans.
During this time, Staind played a show with Limp Bizkit. When Fred Durst saw the controversial cover of the group’s self produced album, Tormented, he tried to have the band kicked off the bill, but when he saw the band’s live show, he changed his tone and befriended them. Durst later sang backup on the live version of Outside, which was recorded at a Family Values Tour concert in Biloxi, MS, in late October 1999. Durst went on to be one of the executive producers for Dysfunction and Break the Cycle. He also directed a few videos for the band later on, including It’s Been Awhile.
Dysfunction
The band’s big break came in October 1997 after Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst witnessed the band open up for them at a Hartford, Connecticut show, eventually signed them to his Flip record label, and co-produced their 1999 breakthrough Dysfunction with Terry Date.

"Aaron Lewis, that obese, beer-guzzling, McOilburger-munching pig, is one of the most annoying imitators of much better singers to ever set his fat legs onto the "heavy music" scene. (Just how heavy is this pop-like shit really?) He sings just like all the Nickelbacks and Puddle of Mudds of this world: a combination of singing through one's teeth and worshipping Kurt Cobain as you do it. Open your damn mouth when you sing, retard! This ultra-commercial, phoney-emotion garbage is targeted at sniveling kids who can't listen to anything truly heavy, but want to feel as if they're listening to something rough-edged. Well, the trick obviously works. The MTV music market for improving teenagers' shaky confidence and ameliorating their vast insecurities is so large as to accomodate even a fat swine like Lewis..."
