The Mississippi-based post-grunge band 3 Doors Down burst onto the scene in 2000, with the release of the song “Kryptonite,” a slick post-grunge anthem that showcases the texture and range of Arnold’s voice and helped usher in the post-grunge era that ruled the early 2000s. The group has since released a total of 5 albums, with their most recent record, Us and the Night, having been released in 2016. Now, with the pandemic waning enough to allow live shows to return, 3 Doors Down is back on their 20th-anniversary tour for The Better Life, their first record, which was postponed in 2020. Read on for our interview with 3 Doors Down frontman Brad Arnold, where we talk 3 Doors Down history, songwriting, and new music.
