Buckcherry is a Los Angeles rock n’ roll band that formed in 1995. The band released two albums before dissolving in summer 2002 after lead singer Josh Todd left to pursue a solo career. The band reformed in 2005 with a completely new rhythm section to release their third album, entitled ‘15’.
Sound
Coming out during a time when rock music was dominated by post-grunge, nu-metal, and alternative rock, Buckcherry performed a sleazy Rock N’ Roll that was more inspired by AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, and Black Crowes than Nirvana and Pearl Jam. On their debut record, they successfully trod heavy metal territory while managing to stay hard rock, while on Time Bomb, the band took their sleaze to an extreme with an excess of profanity and attitude.
History
Buckcherry was formed after Josh Todd met guitarist Keith Nelson through their tattoo artist after discovering a common love of AC/DC. The duo made a few demos before being joined by bassist Jonathan Brightman and drummer Devon Glenn. Buckcherry began preforming the Hollywood club scene, recieving a strong, local following due to their old school Rock N’ Roll vibe.
The band added a second guitarist, Yogi, and were signed to DreamWorks Records shortly after. The band released their self titled debut in 1999 to critical praise. The album, produced by Terry Date, who produced albums for Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone, and Pantera, and ex-Sex Pistol Steve Jones, produced three modern rock chart hits with the singles, Lit Up, Check Your Head, and For The Movies.

Is the new one available anywhere online? It's gotten some abysmal reviews, and I'm not writing it off yet... But I'd like to at least sample it before dropping the coin.

@ jars80: I agree with you. Thing is, I'm pretty sure that Hinder are in their Similar Artists list just because they toured with them in the Bad Boys Of Rock Tour. It's bullshit, and it's ignorance.

I liked the first one and 15 but I'm not the hugest fan of the new one. It's not bad but just seems kinda "meh" to me.
