Roar Like Thunder

Roar Like Thunder is a 2025 work BUCKCHERRY refined around the heat of rough rock ’n’ roll and memorable hard-rock hooks. The guitar is gritty, the rhythm sways at the hip, and the songs have the power to move the body before you think hard. Even after a long career, the band’s energy has not dimmed in the least. On “Roar Like Thunder,” “When The Sun Goes Down,” “Come On” and “Machine Gun,” the push of the hoarse singing draws the lyrics’ delinquency and dry humor into sound. Songs like “Blackout” and “Let It Burn” breathe the band’s full playing too. Avoiding grandiose ornament, a decisiveness that competes on the three points of riff, beat and chorus tightens the album. A frank, BUCKCHERRY-style hard-rock work that seems to leap straight out of the speakers.
