A band that rode 'Crazy Bitch' to notoriety and kept making catchy, guitar-heavy records.
If you want the full Buckcherry experience, start with 'Crazy Bitch' for the raw energy, then check out 'Sorry' to hear their more melodic side. Those two tracks frame what they do pretty well.
Buckcherry mattered because they arrived in the late '90s with a sound that felt both familiar and confrontational. 'Crazy Bitch' became an MTV and radio staple not just for its hook, but for how unapologetically it leaned into rock's raunchier side. Songs like 'Sorry' and 'Everything' showed they could write melodic tracks too, but the attitude always came through.
They formed in Anaheim in the late 1990s and released their self-titled debut in 1999. The lineup shifted over the years, with vocalist Josh Todd and guitarist Keith Nelson remaining constants through albums like '15' in 2006 and 'Warpaint' in 2019. Their sound stayed rooted in hard rock through all those changes.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
