    It's not over, Daughtry makes comeback at Mohegan Sun

    Go listen to Daughtry on YouTube, and you’ll see a slew of comments that say Daughtry is “the best and most underrated band in the world.” I don’t know if I could really agree with that, but what such comments do indicate is that Daughtry has some diehard fans.

    And why not? The alternative rock band has, after all, been hitting the Billboard charts for the last decade (selling a combined 8 million album copies in the U.S.) and produced the best-selling album of 2007, which contained four Top Twenty hit singles, including the Grammy-nominated “It’s Not Over.” Their hit “Leave This Town” also reached #1 in 2009, while 2011’s “Break the Spell” went certified gold.

    Daughtry, the band, rose to fame after front man Chris Daughtry finished in fourth place on “American Idol” in 2006. That success spurred him to form his own band, and he has, in the decade since, acted as the sort of nucleus to the group propelling it and himself further into fame.

    Fans who go to Daughtry’s show on Friday at Mohegan Sun can expect to get a small taste of the band’s much anticipated fifth studio album, expected to be released in early summer. Their last album was released in 2013. Top hits such as “It’s Not Over,” “Home” and “Feels Like Tonight” are also expected to make the set list.

    Daughtry, 7:30 p.m. Friday, Mohegan Sun Arena; $35; 1-800-745-3000.
