About

Buckcherry is an American rock band renowned for their high-energy performances and a sound that fuses elements of hard rock, post-grunge, glam metal, and sleaze rock. Originating from Los Angeles in 1995, the group was formed by Josh Todd (vocals) and Keith Nelson (guitar). Over the years, Buckcherry has seen several lineup changes but has consistently been anchored by Todd's unmistakable vocal presence. The band's music channels the spirit of the late '80s Sunset Strip rock scene, often drawing comparisons to the likes of Mötley Crüe. Known for hits like "Lit Up" and "Crazy Bitch," Buckcherry continues to deliver raw, unapologetic rock anthems that resonate with fans of classic and modern rock alike.
