Seether’s next release looks back to the spaces where a developing rock band met its audience one station at a time. The October 9 announcement supplied by Michael J. Media Group introduces Rare On Air, a collection of in-studio and on-air performances due November 20 through Concord Records. Its first preview, “Driven Under (Studio Session),” and the preorder campaign began October 9.
The archive as a performance record
The materials locate these recordings during Seether’s early-2000s rise, describing intimate and stripped-down settings. That context matters as much as the familiar song titles. A radio visit produces a different document from a studio album: it preserves what a band chose to carry into a temporary room, with the songs serving as introductions to listeners who might be hearing them for the first time.
“Driven Under” originally appeared in 2002 on Disclaimer. The announcement identifies the newly issued session as a recording from one of the band’s radio stops. For this campaign, the interesting question is how an early song travels across formats and decades. This introduction is based on the supplied release information; it does not present an independent listening assessment of the archive.
Familiar songs beside borrowed ones
The 13-track sequence includes studio-session versions of “Remedy,” “69 Tea,” “Breakdown,” “Gasoline,” “Fine Again,” “The Gift,” “Rise Above This,” “Fake It,” “Broken” and “Fade Away.” Covers of Pearl Jam’s “Immortality” and Neil Young’s “The Needle and the Damage Done” sit within that sequence. Together with “Driven Under,” those selections outline a collection that returns to both Seether’s own catalog and songs from outside it.
The campaign frames the album around the connection between the band, radio and its early supporters. Readers can use that framing as an entry point without treating the collection as a new studio album. It is an archival release, and the distinction helps explain why alternate performances are its central attraction.
Looking back while moving forward
Formed in South Africa in 1999 and led by vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Shaun Morgan, Seether continues to tour while revisiting this earlier period. The announcement also includes 2027 dates for a touring package with Staind, Hoobastank and Hinder. Current dates, locations and ticket details should be checked through Seether’s official site.
