Buckcherry is unique, complex, simple, passionate, explosive, original, and always a good time. BC has been my love, my pain, my passion and I'm so proud of what we have accomplished. I never knew when I started this that dedicating myself to music would be taking on so much responsibility. For a guy who never thought he was going to live past 30 this has been an incredible journey. Our ninth record Hellbound marks 22 years since our debut self-titled release and what an amazing rollercoaster we have been on. From hit songs to platinum and gold records and millions of fans worldwide - all during a time period when traditional sounding hard rock bands didn't exist - except for Buckcherry. We beat the odds and built our reputation on the live shows, and our "one of a kind" approach to every opportunity.

When the pandemic hit, we had to shift gears like everyone else and it was anything but comfortable. The good news is, when this band is backed up against the wall, we produce our best music. Hellbound reflects just that. Teaming up with Marti Frederiksen again was so inspiring. He really brings out the best of us and becomes the sixth band member when we are together. There is this mutual respect and passion going on that makes it effortless and fun.

There was so much going on in the world that it was easy to find subject matter for songwriting. Songs like "Barricade" and "Junk" reflect that, but I also was reminiscing about the moment when I "sold my soul to rock n' roll". I will never forget it. It was the very first performance at a house party in Orange County, CA. I knew in that moment that there was no looking back, and no "plan B". It was only victory or death. The title track "Hellbound" reflects that very moment and is one of my favorite tracks. Part of what I loved about rock records growing up was the dynamics from song to song; you had mid-tempo songs, ballads, and rockers and Hellbound is a great reflection of that. Songs like "No More Lies", "Wasting No More Time", and "The Way" really capture the depth and emotion of not only the world situation but also the personal struggle. Then you must have those quintessential Buckcherry tracks like "So Hott", "5-4-3-2-1", "Here I Come" and "Gun" that I can see our longtime fans really appreciating.

Through adversity Buckcherry has had its greatest moments and we are having one right now with Hellbound. I hope you enjoy it, and we will see you at the rock show!!
