BUCKCHERRY!!

S'funny how some things slip past you, isn't it? Case in point, I've just discovered a cracking rock band called Buckcherry on Spotify.
They've got an AC/DC/Quireboys/Thunder/Aerosmith good time vibe to 'em and I'm annoyed to discover they've been around since 1995. Of course, their exposure to the UK mainstream never happened probably thanks to our charts being the preserve of boring old Oasis back in the mid-90s.
Had they'd emerged in 1989 or 1990 then Radio 1 - before it got all youth-oriented and shit - would have played 'em!!
Still, Spotify is a godsend, chockful of good music that cries out to be re-discovered.
In fact, Buckcherry - raspy vocals and funky-wild guitars - should've been featured on one of this summer's distinctly retro-styled action movies. It would've easily fitted into The Expendables, The Losers, The A-Team or Predators.
As I posted earlier this week expect reviews and interviews on Despatches. I reckon Buckcherry will among the first.
