Staind Frontman Aaron Lewis Talks About Being "Mr. Mom"

In an impressive display of multi-tasking, Staind frontman Aaron Lewis reveals that his band's latest album was recorded in a barn on his property as he split child-rearing duties with his wife, Vanessa. In November, the couple welcomed daughter Indie Shay, 8-months, who joined big sisters Nyla Rae, 3, and Zoe Jane, 6, at home.  Aaron, 36, says he would often record until 2 a.m., only to get back up at 6:30 a.m. with Indie; he would then take Zoe to school "and be Mr. Mom all morning so ... Vanessa could get some stuff done." By lunchtime, Aaron's day would be in full swing.  He adds,

At noon I would go up to the studio and start working. At 3 o'clock I would stop what I was doing in the studio and I would go and I would pick my daughter up from school and then go back up to the studio and work until 2 o'clock in the morning. And then get up at 6:30 in the morning with the baby again.

Staind's new album -- The Illusion of Progress -- is scheduled for release on Aug. 19.
