Daughtry to release new EP ‘Shock to the System (Part Two)’ in September

Daughtry will release new EP ‘Shock to the System (Part Two)' on 12th September 2025 via Big Machine Rock.

Available to pre-save now, the EP features ‘The Day I Die', released in April, and new single ‘The Bottom'. ‘The Bottom' finds Daughtry flexing his vocal range with a hypnotic cadence. The track captures the raw honesty and sonic intensity that define the new EP.

“‘Shock to the System' is about facing the things we’ve ignored and confronting the wake-up calls that force us to go deeper and get honest,” says Chris Daughtry. “These songs unlocked something in me as a writer and a human being. ‘Part Two' is the result of that journey.”

‘Shock to the System (Part One)' delivered major milestones for the band, scoring their first-ever #1 at Active Rock with ‘Artificial', followed by another #1 with ‘Pieces'. The project drew widespread praise from outlets such as Billboard and Spin, who highlighted the palpable heaviness and fearless creative evolution of this new era.

​The band will be returning to the UK in 2026 to join Alter Bridge on the arena tour in February.
