Power anthems like “Far Behind” and “You,” from their debut, self-titled album exploded onto the charts propelling the album to sell more than four million copies worldwide. 
 
Blazing full steam ahead with new U.S. and international tour dates and an upcoming release on the horizon, these iconic rockers have no plans of slowing down any time soon. And to the legions of fans who have followed their long and illustrious career, that’s music to their ears.

Buckcherry

Buckcherry is an American rock band known for its high-energy sound, raw attitude, and unapologetic lyrics. Originally formed in 1995 by vocalist Josh Todd and guitarist Keith Nelson, the band quickly gained attention for their blend of sleazy hard rock and punk-infused swagger, reminiscent of bands like Guns N’ Roses and AC/DC.

Buckcherry reformed in 2005 with a revamped lineup and made a strong comeback with the platinum-certified album 15 (2006), which included hits like “Crazy Bitch” and “Sorry.” This resurgence marked the band’s most commercially successful period and reintroduced them to a new generation of fans.
