    A few months before the release of Buckcherry's long-awaited sophomore album, the national press proclaimed that classic ock was back, as if ock -- classic or otherwise -- had ever gone away. Buckcherry most definitely had, though, for four long years, and the group that returned sported three different members than the one that had left. But their timing was impeccable, as evidenced by the success of "Crazy Bitch," a taster for this set. The thundering "Bitch" has a decidedly Aerosmith feel, not surprising when you discover that band's producer Marti Frederiksen co-wrote one of the numbers within 15, the lavish power allad "Sorry." "Carousel" also echoes with sounds of the past, and is hands down the best song Rod Stewart and the Faces never wrote but should have, with guitar solos that reverberate of Ron Wood and a gorgeous melody that grasps your heart and never lets go. And then there's the tasty country-fried lues of..."Brooklyn"? Sure, why not? There are rednecks in the Big Apple, too, but who knew you could hear such mean slide guitar and great bluesy riffs in that borough? Moving forward in time, "Everything" boasts some ringing U2-ish guitar, but the song itself has a much more '90s alterna-rock feel, one of several tracks that fall into the now well-missed genre. And at the far end of the spectrum comes the likes of "So Far" and "Broken Glass," the former a storming hard rocker, the latter pushing toward hardcore, both perfectly bookending this stunning set. So no matter how you like your ock served up, Buckcherry dish it with delight, and you'll be wolfing it down and demanding more.

(Published in Rag Magazine's March 2007 issue)Having been through a multitude of dramatic turbulence in the recent past, it’s quite a pleasure to see the straight-ahead hard rock group, Buckcherry, on top of the rock world again.

Last night, I saw three bands in concert at Headliners in Columbia, SC:Buckcherry, Mercy Fall, and Hot Lava Monsters. I probably would never have gone to see this show, but my fellow loves Buckcherry. I didn't know any of the bands, but I have of course heard the song "Crazy Bitch" and I guess I can get into it a little even though I don't like much like the concept. Anyway, Hot Lava Monsters a

Buckcherry Redux

Back during Buckcherry's 15 fleeting fame in the late 1990's (is that when it was??) we, being the Hi Energy Rock and Roll freaks, used to say… No Chuck Berry, not buckcherry!.. there was a brief flurry of accolades about how they were bringing back rock and roll, and how they were the new GnR, and all of that stuff. Mean while there was a small underground of us who were into; Gluecifer, Turbo.

Man it gets me all riled up when a great band just seems to fall off the face of the Earth and disappear. Okay, so it's only been a little over a year since Buckcherry released their album 15 but still, come on guys, I really like it and I want more!Just so happens the rumor mill says they are working on something new. Though I don't think we can expect another LP until next Summer. I hope to h...

Ah yes, the cash grab re-release. It’s a staple of the modern music business considering the decline of record sales... So here Buckcherry get the treatment on TWO of their albums.
