GAVIN ROSSDALE Ready To Rock, With Or Without BUSH!

As his first solo album, "WANDERlust," takes flight thanks to the hit singles "Love Remains the Same" and "Forever You May Run," Gavin Rossdale is already plotting his next recording project. "I'm sort of halfway through writing a bunch of new songs," Rossdale tells Billboard.com. "If it's a Bush record, that's great, and if it's a Gavin Rossdale record, that's great. We'll have to see what happens." READ MORE

Bush, Starring Gavin Rosedale!

Bush was origionally from London and was formed by frontman Gavin Rossdale in 1992, Bush helped usher in the post-rock era rocking out with their loud guitar sound, meshed with slight electronica. Before ever signing a record deal in their home country, American label Interscope records scooped them up and released 1994's Sixteen Stone, which spent a year gaining popularity with the number one singles "Comedown" and "Glycerine." With critics saying the band seemed manufactured, Bush turned to famed indie producer Steve Albini (The Pixies, Nirvana) to produce their sophomore release, 1996's Razorblade Sunrise, which debuted at number one. The band briefly departed from their core guitar sound with the electronica remix album Deconstructed in 1997. In late 2001, the band released its last full album, Golden State and toured to support it before going on indefinite hiatus. In 2005, Bush released The Best of: 1994-1999, a greatest hits compilation.
As the first British band to really gain mainstream popularity as the grunge scene wound down, they certainly captured the sounds of their grunge influences such as the "Little Things," which appears to be Rossdale's own "Smells Like Teen Spirit," but their addition of electronica into the background of their fairly melodic songs set them apart from the typical grunge band. Bush, along with bands such as Collective Soul, Live and the Foo Fighters, helped usher in the post-grunge era, giving their audience a much more polished sound that leaned more towards a pop-sensibility than a dissonant one. Another aspect of Bush's music that set them apart from a lot of the bands that hit the radio in mid-90s was their refusal to sound overproduced, but with the exception of their electronica remixes, whatever you heard on their albums was what you're hear in concert.
