* CareerResurrection: One one of the biggest HardRock bands in the 2000s, the group split up in 2009 after Ben Burnley began suffering from several illnesses related to his alcoholism. Burnley later revived the band with a new lineup midway through TheNewTens. The surprising success of their first single in years, ironically titled "Failure", and their first album in ages too, ''Dark Before Dawn'', put them back on the map of rock fans.
