Shepherd's Bush, London (1992 – 2002)
Bush was an English alternative rock band formed in 1992. Their debut album was the self-released Sixteen Stone in 1994.
The name Bush came about because they used to live in Shepherd’s Bush, London.
Their first album, Sixteen Stone (1994), was a huge commercial success. Almost overnight, Bush went from playing small pubs in London to headlining arenas in the US, the result of extensive, non-stop touring. However, some critics labelled them as an inferior derivative of bands such as Nirvana and Pixies, and this criticism followed them throughout their career as a band. In particular, Rossdale’s throaty singing voice and random, stream of consciousness-style lyrics were dismissed by some as an imitation of Nirvana’s lead singer, Kurt Cobain. Although the band reached superstar status in the U.S., they failed to have much impact on the britpop riddled UK charts, the lone exception being their single
Swallowed, which reached #7. A change in record labels, management and an extended hiatus did not bode well for the band, who unofficially split in 2002.
Bush’s albums include Razorblade Suitcase (produced by Steve Albini), Deconstructed, The Science of Things, and Golden State, none of which matched the sales success of the debut album, Sixteen Stone.

I have a conundrum. Perhaps you can help me. 12 years ago or so, I heard a parody of Swallowed. The lyrics were the same, but it was quicker and sang with a redneck accent. Any clue as to where I can acquire this song? Who it's by? Anything?
