Shinedown Add New Flavor to Hot Sauce Line

Shinedown bring the heat on stage and in the kitchen, and their hot sauce line is expanding.

The first of the spicy offerings was Symptom Chipotle Garlic Sauce, which launched earlier this year. It's made in collaboration with Torchbearer Sauces, who are based here in Pennsylvania. The name is a nod to Shinedown's ballad “A Symptom of Being Human.” Watch WMMR's Brent Porche put it to a taste test on Instagram.

Now, the band have added Devour Pineapple Jerk Sauce to their condiment selection. Torchbearer describes the flavor as "tangy and sweet pineapple with herbaceous goodness followed by a delightful tingle that will satisfy that craving for heat without leaving anyone gasping for air." They add that the "heat level is on par with our first collaboration sauce, Symptom, so there’s no need to fear, but the taste is completely different." You can purchase it here, and keep scrolling for a discount code.

In an interview with Brent Porche, Shinedown drummer Barry Kerch said that they took great care to develop a sauce that their fans would love. He explains: "We went through different versions where the flavor profile was kind of already there, but do we want it a little thicker? Do we want it more airy? All these kinds of things that you don’t really think about when it’s just a simple condiment, right? But we really wanted it to be something special, to put our name on it. So it was a lot of fun to do."

Kerch also confirmed that Shinedown are cooking up something in the studio for us, saying: "You’ll hear something, I imagine, by the end of the year, if not beginning of next year… We don’t want to rest. We don’t want to take too much time."

It is certainly hard to believe that the 2023 MMRBQ is already a week+ in the rearview mirror, but the energy and the vibe that came out of this year's event continues on.

This year's all-day festival was just the third time in over 16 years of MMRBQ's that we held our massive MMR Concert Event at the end of the summer rather than in the middle of May. Mother Nature was smiling down on us in beautiful, tropical, downtown Camden, New Jersey, as she delivered some of the most amazing weather and temperatures that we have had all summer.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in person at the show or listened on-air or online to our complete concert coverage. All of us at WMMR truly appreciate your friendship!

"My Boys" in Shinedown headlined the MMR*B*Q for the second time this year, bringing their Planet Zero World Tour to the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. And as Brent Smith told us leading up to the MMRBQ, Shinedown brought ALL of their "bells & whistles," the songs, the screens and certainly a LOT of pyro!

You could tell Brent, Zach, Eric & Barry were certainly feeling the love from the WMMR audience. Their energy was reflective of that during their performance. Brent had some very kind words for the station multiple times over the course of the night. After all, WMMR is one of the very first stations in the entire world to play Shinedown on the radio, and the band hasn't forgotten that.

Having personally seen Shinedown dozens and dozens of times all over the country, I can truly say that this year's MMR*B*Q performance from "My Boys" was among the very BEST that I have ever seen them. And if you haven't seen the full videos of "A Symptom of Being Human" and "Cut the Cord" from this year's MMR*B*Q, you can view them here.

I had a chance to catch Shinedown on their "The Revolutions Live" tour with Papa Roach and Spiritbox at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on Sunday, so even more pictures and video from Shinedown (and Papa Roach & Spiritbox) will be posted right here in the coming days!

Thank YOU again for such a great MMRBQ this year! Let's do it again soon!!
