Shinedown’s Eric Bass details debut solo album, ’I Had a Name’

Shinedown bassist Eric Bass has announced his debut solo album.

The record is called I Had a Name and is due out Feb. 28. The first single, called “Mind Control,” is out now via digital outlets.

“We live in a world right now where music gets homogenized and maybe everything sounds and feels the same,” Bass says. “I wanted to create something different and I hope listeners hear that. Lyrically and emotionally I hope it empowers them and they can see themselves in the character and stories I sing about.”

Shinedown’s latest album is 2022’s Planet Zero.

Here’s the I Had a Name track list:
“A World Unseen”
