Interview by Robert Cavuoto
Buckcherry continues to carry the torch for great Rock ‘n’ Roll while showing they are at the top of their game! Throughout their 28-year career, they consistently released great rock albums every 18 months to two years. Their phenomenal release, Vol. 10, is due June 2nd via Earache Records.
Buckcherry reemerges energized without losing their passion and drive to deliver eleven fast, aggressive, riff-drive songs with a party vibe. It is a seamless extension and a notch above the sound they have established on Warpaint [2019] and Hellbound [2021].
Vol. 10 is a testament to their rebellious spirits, which drives these finely crafted songs and shows us a band caught up in their own energy, particularly on “This and That,” “With You,” and “Shine Your Light.” Josh’s iconic voice carries listeners through the album with its moments of light and shade, including the powerfully haunting ballad “Pain,” sung with a true sense of soul-baring, heartfelt emotion. Just for the hell of it, the band threw in a riotous version of Bryan Adams’ classic “Summer of 69,” which kicks ass!
With band members Josh Todd [vocals], Stevie D. [guitar], Billy Rowe [guitar], Kelly LeMieux [bass], and Francis Ruiz [drums], they demonstrate on Vol. 10 just how huge Rock & Roll should sound; fun, dangerous, and fast!
Fans can pre-order limited edition splatter and color vinyl, signed CDs, cassettes, of Vol. 10 and more at earache.com/Buckcherry.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Josh about why the band wrote 25 songs to get to these ten original songs and how he is constantly inspired to write and release new albums. That songwriting is like turning on a faucet for him; it’s an intense ride to the finish line and the importance of the stability of the band’s current line-up.
