Buckcherry 'Black Butterfly' album

The next great American rock band, Eleven Seven Music/Atlantic recording group Buckcherry returns today with their eagerly awaited fourth album, "BLACK BUTTERFLY." The album -- which follows 2006's RIAA platinum-certified blockbuster, "15" -- is available now in stores. If you liked "15," you'll love "BLACK BUTTERFLY."

"Too Drunk...," the slinky first single from "BLACK BUTTERFLY," is currently blowing up at multi-format radio outlets nationwide. The track is a top 10 smash at Active Rock, while also coming in this week at #11 with-a-bullet at Mainstream Rock. What's more, "Too Drunk..." is currently bulleting its way up the top 30 at Alternative outlets across the country.

Buckcherry can also be seen performing on tonight's episode of ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" In addition, the Los Angeles-based band is also the featured artist in the current edition of Cinemax's "Tour Stories."

To celebrate today's release of "BLACK BUTTERFLY," Buckcherry relaunched their official site, www.Buckcherry.com. Among the highlights to be found on the full-service site is the companion video to the album's next single, "Don't Go Away."

Rightly renowned as true hard rock road warriors, Buckcherry kicked off a major North American tour last week, with shows slated through mid-October (see itinerary below). The tour -- originally billed as co-headline dates with Avenged Sevenfold, who regrettably were forced to cancel their performances -- sees support from Shinedown and Saving Abel.

"BLACK BUTTERFLY" -- co-produced by Buckcherry's own Keith Nelson and longtime Aerosmith collaborator Marti Frederiksen (the co-writer of Buckcherry's top 10 smash, "Sorry") -- is being offered in a selection of formats: a standard CD package; a "Limited Fan Club Edition" version, which comes with bonus tracks and a one-year membership to the Buckcherry Fan Club; and a "Limited Fan Club Edition" bundle which adds a "BLACK BUTTERFLY" T-shirt to the previous package. For more information, visit www.Buckcherry.com.

Buckcherry has received extensive coverage in a wide array of national publications, including a recent Billboard cover story which declared the band to be "a platinum-plated redemption story, years in the making." Additional features have appeared or will appear in Blender, Revolver, Guitar World, Men's Fitness, Modern Drummer, Metal Edge, Penthouse, and Hit Parader.

Powered by four enormously successful multi-format hit singles, "15" firmly established Buckcherry's status as America's preeminent hard rock outfit. "Crazy B*tch" -- the album's Grammy Award-nominated first single -- caused a radio riot upon its 2006 release, reaching #2 at Mainstream Rock and #3 at Active Rock. A string of further rock and alternative radio hits followed, including "Next 2 You," "Everything," and the CHR/Top 40 crossover smash, "Sorry." The singles all exploded online, with cumulative digital sales now surpassing three million. In addition, "Crazy B*tch" spent over a year in the Nielsen Ringscan Top 30. The track has since been certified as a Platinum Master Ringtone by the RIAA.

Buckcherry spent nearly two full years on the road, performing more than 300 live shows in support of "15." More recently, the band lit up stages nationwide at this summer's "Crüe Fest," a multi-artist bill which also included Mötley Crüe, Papa Roach, SIXX: A.M., and Trapt.

more Buckcherry information
Buckcherry has announced early details of its hugely anticipated fourth album, "Black Butterfly." The album -- which follows 2006's RIAA platinum-certified blockbuster, "15" -- arrives in stores at all digital retailers on September 16th.

"Too Drunk...," a featured track from "Black Butterfly," recently appeared online at a number of BitTorrent sites. Buckcherry had this to say regarding the song's unscheduled arrival: "Honestly, we hate it when this s*** happens, because we want our FANS to have any new songs first."

In response to the leak, the band quickly cut "a down and dirty video" for "Too Drunk...". With its sexy, slinky groove, "Too Drunk..." offers a new facet to Buckcherry's trademark hard-rocking sonic approach. "I just wanted something that was funky," notes lead singer Josh Todd, "so we all collaborated on it and turned it into something with a lot of space to breeze along and tell a story."

"Black Butterfly" is now available for preorder via www.Buckcherry.com. Fans who preorder the Limited Edition Fan Pack will receive the track "Too Drunk..." at the time of their preorder. The ringtone for the track is also available on the band's website. The album -- co-produced by longtime Aerosmith collaborator Marti Frederiksen (the co-writer of Buckcherry's top 10 smash, "Sorry") and Buckcherry's own Keith Nelson -- will be offered in a standard CD package; a "Limited Fan Club Edition" version, which comes with bonus tracks and a one-year membership to the Buckcherry Fan Club; and a "Limited Fan Club Edition" bundle which adds a "Black Butterfly" T-shirt to the previous package.

True road warriors, Buckcherry will follow "Crüe Fest" with a full-scale co-headline tour alongside Avenged Sevenfold, slated to kick off in mid-September, running through the beginning of October. (See below for announced dates; additional dates to be announced at a later date.)

Buckcherry was featured in a recent Billboard cover story which declared the Los Angeles-based band to be "a platinum-plated redemption story, years in the making." Powered by four enormously successful multi-format hit singles, "15" firmly established Buckcherry's status as America's preeminent hard rock outfit. "Crazy Bitch" -- the album's Grammy Award-nominated first single -- caused a radio riot upon its 2006 release, reaching #2 at Mainstream Rock and #3 at Active Rock. A string of further rock and alternative radio hits followed, including "Next 2 You," "Everything," and the CHR/Top 40 crossover smash, "Sorry." The singles have all blown up online, with cumulative digital sales now approaching 1 million. In addition, "Crazy Bitch" spent over a year in the Nielsen RingScan Top 30 -- the only track to do so in the chart's history. The track has since been certified as a Platinum Master Ringtone by the RIAA.

What's more, Buckcherry spent nearly two full years on the road, performing more than 300 live shows in support of "15." A full-scale headline tour behind "Black Butterfly" will be announced shortly.
