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]]. ==History== ===Early years and ''Tormented'' (1995–1998)=== In 1993, vocalist [[Aaron Lewis]] and guitarist Mike Mushok met at a Christmas party in [[Springfield, Massachusetts]]. Mushok introduced drummer Jon Wysocki while Lewis brought in bassist Johnny April to form the band in 1995. Their first public performance was in February 1995, playing a heavy, dark, and introspective style of metal.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Rough Guide to Heavy Metal |last=Berelian |first=Essi |date=2005 |publisher=Rough Guides |isbn=9781843534150 |page=343}}</ref> Extensive touring in the Northeast helped Staind acquire a regional following over the next few years. The band started covering [[Korn]], [[Rage Against the Machine]], [[Pearl Jam]], [[Tool (band)|Tool]], and [[Alice in Chains]], among others, and played at local clubs (most commonly playing at Infinity, a live music venue located in Springfield) for a year and a half.

The singles "So Far Away" and "Price to Play" came with two unreleased tracks, "Novocaine" and "Let It Out", which were released for the special edition of the group's subsequent album ''[[Chapter V (Staind album)|Chapter V]]'', which came out in late 2005. In 2003, Staind unsuccessfully sued their logo designer Jon Stainbrook in New York Federal Court for attempting to re-use the logo he had sold to the band.
