Buckcherry roared out of Anaheim, California, in 1995 with Josh Todd's sneering, sandpaper vocals and Keith Nelson's guitar leading a band that played swaggering, gutter-level hard rock with no apologies. Their self-titled debut in 1999 became the first DreamWorks album to go gold, with the strut of "Lit Up" and "For the Movies" leading the way.
Time Bomb (2001) followed with "Ridin'", but the original lineup came apart, and the band dissolved in 2002. Todd and Nelson brought it back to life in 2005 with a new lineup that included Jimmy Ashhurst on bass, and the comeback album 15 (2006) was a bigger hit than anything before. "Crazy Bitch", all leering riff and filthy grin, became their biggest crossover hit, and "Sorry" became their first top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, with "Everything", "Next 2 You" and "Broken Glass" rounding out the set.
They have kept the engine running since, releasing seven albums between 2008 and 2023 and an eleventh, Roar Like Thunder, in 2025.
