Buckcherry
LA rockers Buckcherry headlined Irving Plaza and lit up the place in support of their sixth studio album titled “Confessions”. “Confessions” was produced by Keith Nelson and Marti Frederiksen (AEROSMITH, OZZY OSBOURNE) and features eclectic CD artwork by graffiti artist Ewok. The songs on “Confessions” merge punk grit, gutter attitude, honest storytelling, and razor sharp hooks, while the lyrics are tied together by the underlying theme of the Seven Deadly Sins.
“Confessions” is a loose concept album that revolves around the notion of the seven deadly sins and is inspired by events in singer’s Josh Todd’s childhood.
Josh Todd has also helped co-write a short film that will come out later in the year and expand upon the record’s themes. It’s not clear yet how the film will be distributed.
