Buckcherry - Fuck EPBuckcherry – Fuck EP

Buckcherry are not ones to follow rules and regulations and do things by the book as the band are well known for their partying ways, bad ass attitude, explosive live shows, melodic rock and witty lyrics and now the band have announced the release of their new 6 track EP which is simply titled ‘Fuck’ and yes you have guessed right all 6 tracks which make up the EP have the word fuck in the title as Buckcherry go all out to get the record for the most fuck’s in a release.

The ‘Fuck’ EP is being released through Buckcherry’s own F-bomb Records on the 18th August and things open up with ‘Somebody Fucked With Me’ a song which has a tasty opening riffs before Josh Todd goes on a rant shouting out “Fuck the system, fuck the lawyers, fuck the sequel, fuck um all, fuck religion, fuck the country the politician, fuck um all” and as the song flows Josh Todd continues a his saying a big fuck you to pretty much everything he has come across in his life.

‘Say Fuck It’ see’s Buckcherry have their own take on the over played Icona Pop song ‘I Don’t Care’ but with changing the title and lyrics to ‘Say fuck It’, both the original and the Buckcherry version of the song are irritatingly catchy, buckcherry do manage to make the song fun but it is defiantly a song which is going to be short lived and will get on your nerves after a few listens.

‘Motherfucker’ is a big melodic rock anthem sounding so much like many songs from the already impressive Buckcherry back catalogue, when the chorus kicks in you seriously know about it as Josh Todd goes out all speedy with his lead vocals whilst slipping in the word fuck a couple of times for good measures.

When it gets going ‘I Don’t Give A Fuck’ is a fast flowing groovy number and it is sure going to be a hit on the live circuit with thousands of fans in the pit flipping the bird high in the air whilst chanting “I don’t give a fuck” along with Josh Todd.

‘It’s A Fucking Disaster’ starts off as more of a slow paced serious number and then at the 1minute mark the song fully kicks in as the band go down the fast paced melodic route which they are known all too well for.

The EP closes with ‘Fist Fuck’ a song which oozes in punk rock attitude, its fast and furious and a massive chant-a-long anthem, the chorus of “This is what you wanted, this is what you needed, this is a fist fuck” is executed so fast as the band unleash their hidden punk genes and finish a solid EP with the best track on offer.

Currently Buckcherry are showing themselves to be workaholics as they released their sixth studio album 18 months ago, their greatest hits album only a couple of months ago and now they are back with ‘Fuck’ which happens to be the most controversial release of their already impressive career and I can see the songs doing down a storm when they head out on the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival Tour across America over the next month or so.

4/5
