Looks like this summer is going to be a good one for rock n' roll. Buckcherry have announced that their new record titled Rock n' Roll will be released on August 21st.
According to singer Josh Todd the title is a way of giving Kiss front man Gene Simmons the finger for saying "rock is dead". Can't say I blame them there. It's a simple, yet effective title for what they are trying to communicate with this album.
Todd says in an interview with Classic Rock Magazine:
“There’s been so much talk about how rock‘n’roll is dead and all of this bullshit. The funny thing is, that’s been going on since we put out our first record in 1999. We wanted to call the new album Rock 'N' Roll because this is what we’ve been doing our whole lives. We focused on making a record that encompasses all of what we are. You get every flavor of Buckcherry.”
Buckcherry have already released a single from Rock n' Roll titled Bring It On Back. It's a song that is straight up about fast cars and racing. It's pretty straightforward rock n' roll. No frills. No bullshit. Exactly what Buckcherry was aiming for. I do wish there was a little more to it riff-wise, but it's still a great rocker. The video for Bring It On Back can be watched below.
I'm looking forward to the new album. Buckcherry have put out some great stuff in the past, although I wasn't overly ecstatic about their previous album Confessions. This time around though I'm sure there will be some great riffs and rock n' roll debauchery that you can typically expect in a Buckcherry album.
