Buckcherry Channel AC/DC on ‘Warpaint’ Title Track
Late last year, Buckcherry announced their first new album in four years, Warpaint, releasing a cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Head Like a Hole" to tide fans over. Then came the first single, "Bent," which premiered at Loudwire, and now you can hear the title track in the video above.
There's a distinct AC/DC influence on the track with its start/stop, full-bodied chords and rigid, simple-yet-effective drum beat. Josh Todd's nasal-toned voice also draws parallels to the late Bon Scott, making "Warpaint" a feel-good rock song with a classic feel.
"Good things come to those who wait and we have been very patient and thorough with the songwriting for Warpaint," says Todd. "We took into consideration all the factors and what this record means to, not only us, but the great Buckcherry fans around the world. This record takes the listener on an unforgettable journey and I'm very proud of it."
Warpaint will be released on March 1 through Century Media/RED Music and can be pre-ordered here.
