'''Staind''' ({{IPAc-en|s|t|eɪ|n|d}} {{respell|STAYND}}) <!--DO NOT change to "was" unless a reliable source is provided to back up this assertion --> is an American [[Rock music|rock]] band from [[Springfield, Massachusetts]], formed in 1995. The original lineup consisted of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist [[Aaron Lewis]], lead guitarist [[Mike Mushok]], bassist and backing vocalist Johnny April, and drummer Jon Wysocki. The lineup has been stable outside of the 2011 departure of Wysocki, who was replaced by Sal Giancarelli. Staind has recorded and released eight studio albums: ''[[Tormented (Staind album)|Tormented]]'' (1996), ''[[Dysfunction (album)|Dysfunction]]'' (1999), ''[[Break the Cycle]]'' (2001), ''[[14 Shades of Grey]]'' (2003), ''[[Chapter V (Staind album)|Chapter V]]'' (2005), ''[[The Illusion of Progress]]'' (2008), ''[[Staind (album)|Staind]]'' (2011), and ''[[Confessions of the Fallen]]'' (2023). 

The band was most successful in the early 2000s, with ''Break the Cycle'' going [[RIAA certification|five times platinum]] in the United States and producing a top-five [[Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] hit with its lead single "[[It's Been Awhile]]". ''Break the Cycle'', along with the band's following two full-length albums, also topped the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], and the two after peaked within the top five. Several of their other singles also became rock and crossover hits, including "[[Fade (Staind song)|Fade]]", "[[For You (Staind song)|For You]]", "[[Price to Play]]", "[[So Far Away (Staind song)|So Far Away]]", and "[[Right Here (Staind song)|Right Here]]". The band's activity became more sporadic into the 2010s, with Lewis pursuing a solo [[country music]] career and Mushok subsequently joining the band [[Saint Asonia]].
