BUCKCHERRY's new "Confessions" CD is available now via Century Media Records. . Check out the album premiere at Noisecreep.com here.
To celebrate the release of their new album, the multi-platinum Los Angeles rock band--Josh Todd (vocals), Keith Nelson (guitar), Stevie D. (guitar), Jimmy Ashhurst (bass), Xavier Muriel (drums)--will headline three intimate hometown shows at The Viper Room in West Hollywood on March 7th, 8th and 9th. A limited number of tickets are still available at www.viperroom.com.
"The Viper Room is where it all began for us," says Josh Todd. "At one point when we would hit the stage in that small club, the crowd sounded like an arena. It was so explosive that we landed a record deal and now 15 years later we're coming back to do it all again".
"Confessions" is Buckcherry's sixth studio album and first U.S. release for Century Media Records. It was produced by Keith Nelson and Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne) and features eclectic CD artwork by graffiti artist Ewok. The songs on 'Confessions' merge punk grit, gutter attitude, honest storytelling, and razor sharp hooks, while the lyrics are tied together by the underlying theme of the Seven Deadly Sins.
In a recent interview with Loudwire.com, Josh Todd elaborated on the album's subject matter. Josh explained: "There was a point in my life when I was a youth when I lost a family member and I acted out in my grieving process through the deadly sins, so that's kind of what the story's about on the record. I think the seven sins are timeless and that everybody struggles with them in their daily lives all the time".
The album's first single "Gluttony" is impacting Active Rock in the U.S. and Top 5 at Active Rock in Canada. The provocative video for "Gluttony" --directed by Billy Jayne and filmed in a North Hollywood church--can be seen below:
A two-disc deluxe version of "Confessions" is also available and features the bonus tracks "Give 'Em What They Want" and "When The Fire Starts". In addition, a bonus DVD includes the "Gluttony" music video and lyric video, behind the scenes footage and band interviews from the set of the "Gluttony" video shoot, and "The Story Behind Confessions" featurette. "Confessions" will also be released on vinyl in April.

Buckcherry is currently on the road supporting Kid Rock as special guests on the Rebel Soul tour, with additional worldwide tour plans to be announced soon. The band is already receiving early praise from the media for both "Confessions" and their live show.
Buckcherry are one of the premier rock bands of the new millennium. They've sold more than three million records in America alone and tour virtually non-stop, playing with everyone from AC/DC to Avenged Sevenfold, touring sold-out arenas alongside Nickelback and KISS, and headlining festivals ranging from the punk rock Ink-N-Iron (also featuring the Misfits and Pennywise) to Sturgis. Radio staples "Lit Up," "Crazy Bitch" and "Sorry" have cemented the band as one of the most identifiable and sought-after bands on the radio and the live circuits.
