Daughtry's new album 'Leave This Town' hits stores July 10 but if you'd like to pre-order your copy, head to iTunes now!
A grubby Chris Daughtry and his bandmates got down and dirty while filming their new video for “No Surprise” in a rock quarry east of Los Angeles last week.
The location, a functioning mineral mine that looks like a construction site on the moon, is the setting for Daughtry’s latest project, but plot of the video is so hush-hush, not even the band knows what it’s about.
"Well, we're unclear actually," Chris chuckled, sitting in their air conditioned bus with bassist Josh Paul. "We know that it involves a tumultuous relationship. It's almost, from what I gather, about a couple who are aiming for the same goal, but they keep missing it, missing each other. They're not communicating and one of the biggest causes of either break ups or divorce is financial struggles and lack of communication."
But the American Idol alum is quick to point out that none of the break-up themed songs on their new album, “Leave This Town”, has to do with he and Deanna, his wife of nearly nine years.
But, he adds, the bands celeb status doesn’t insulate them from the problems of mere mortals like you and me.
"People think because we're famous, or whatever you want to call it, we don't go through the exact same problems, personal problems as anybody else. ['No Surprise'] is stuff that we can relate to."

Here's what the respected industry trade magazine had to say about Daughtry's first single from new album 'Leave This Town':
Crowned Billboard's 2008 Adult Top 40 artist of the year, Daughtry became the first act to produce three No. 1s at the format from a debut album. Buoyed by that momentum, the group has exploded on the Adult Top 40 chart with the lead single from its sophomore set, "Leave This Town," due July 14. Not that it needed the extra star power, but Daughtry enlisted Chad Kroeger as a co-writer; considering Nickelback owns a format-record five No. 1s, a chart-topping ascent seems a solid bet. The song follows the formula of each band's biggest hits: a slowly building verse that explodes into an anthemic chorus, a la Daughtry's "Over You" and Nickelback's current "If Today Was Your Last Day." By the time the new album is released, mainstream top 40 and AC will have likely joined in to help make "No Surprise" a summer radio smash.
