Liner Notes
Hellbound is a record on which BUCKCHERRY sounded the linear hard rock they excel at, restraining excess ornament. Rough guitar, a bouncing rhythm and Josh Todd’s provocative singing quickly light a fire within short songs. Even after a long career, the band’s impulse toward rock ’n’ roll has not dimmed in the least.
On “5-4-3-2-1,” “So Hott,” “Hellbound” and “Gun,” while keeping a blues and punk feel, the choruses firmly stay in the ear. Songs like “No More Lies” and “The Way” breathe the band’s full playing too. With a build that chooses impulse over refinement and momentum over complexity, it shines on car speakers and at live venues alike. A BUCKCHERRY-style record for fully savoring the immediacy of rock ’n’ roll.
