More on NEW BUSH ALBUM (8/28/01)
Bush are back on October 23rd with GOLDEN STATE, their debut for their new label, Atlantic Records.

The album's first single, "Speed Kills", hits radios September 10th, but the single is already available on Bush's new web site www.bush-music.com. The web site is not fully up and running as yet, but fans can check out the song and sign up for the group's mailing list.

"It's a very naked record," says Gavin Rossdale. "Definitely a real rock record. It's such a rock record it even surprised us." GOLDEN STATE, the follow-up to 1999's THE SCIENCE OF THINGS, was produced by Bush and David Sardy (Marilyn Manson, System Of A Down).

Bush's NEW Album, GOLDEN STATE (6/08/01)
Don't expect any tricks, bleeps and blips, prog rock or conceptual bombast on Bush's new album. "The band's goal going into the record was to capture the great performances of the band playing," said David Sardy, who is producing the as-yet-untitled LP. "It's not about studio trickery. It doesn't have loops or electronics, it's just the band rocking out." Bush have recorded 17 tracks, though Sardy expects only 15 to get finished and 11 or 12 to make the album. Song titles are still tentative. The album, the follow-up to 1999's The Science of Things and Bush's first on Atlantic Records, is due in October, singer Gavin Rossdale said at the MTV Movie Awards last weekend.

Sardy (Marilyn Manson, Red Hot Chili Peppers) recorded most of the songs with the band in London, though they are currently in Los Angeles "screwing around and fixing stuff." "It's nice because we started before they signed their new deal, so there hasn't been a rush and we've had that all the way through," Sardy said. "The Manson album [Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)] took 10 months, so this doesn't seem long." Rossdale's lyrics are dark on some songs, but mostly uplifting throughout the album, Sardy said.

"He's in a good place in his life emotionally, which is good for writing music," the producer said. "His songs are incredibly hooky. Even when I heard the demos, it was like 'F---. You can't get them out of your head!' " Sardy, who runs his own indie label, SeeThru Broadcasting, said Bush spent several weeks in pre-production jamming and working on song arrangements.

"I don't know if it's going back or just getting to the root of what it is that they enjoy doing," Sardy said. "It was all about performances and great songs."

Bush - Fender Frontline v27 - new music section (6/23/00)
BUSH
Like 'em or not, one thing you can say about Gavin Rossdale and crew - they just can't stop making brilliant alternative radio hits. their latest release, The Science of Things, is at once a continuation of their last two albums and an evolution of the mid-90's grungy guitar sound. The opening track, "Warm Machine," pulses forward with a dinosaur jr.-esque grind, and if you've ever spun a dino jr. or sebadoh disc, how could you not dig the fact that bush nail the groove AND the tone? Rossdale's vocals and lyrics are as impassioned and elliptical as ever, but seem to edge closer to their targets here. The tune "Jesus Online" is, guess what, both pleading and poignant.
Looking Ahead to New Bush Album, Solo LP (4/11/00)
Bush have just begun touring the U.S. in support of their latest album, The Science of Things, but the British pop-rockers are already making plans to begin recording their next release. "I hope to be doing it by late summer. I think it's important to keep momentum," frontman Gavin Rossdale said last week from a Florida tour stop. Rossdale, who also is planning a solo LP, said he's working on "light sketches" of new songs, though he declined to say what direction he expects Bush's next album to take. "The sound should be something elusive," he said. "For us it's about constantly evolving, trying to reflect things about your life." The band's current MTV-sponsored tour of college campuses, which also features electronica artist Moby, is slated to end April 30 but will be followed by a summer tour of outdoor amphitheaters, Bush spokesperson Michael Pagnotta said. The band plans to enter the studio after that tour ends, according to Pagnotta, who said the group was frustrated by the three-year gap between their second album, 1996's Razorblade Suitcase, and last year's The Science of Things. The delay was largely because of a now-resolved lawsuit filed against the band by their label, Trauma Records. A remix album, 1997's Deconstructed, came out in the interim. That album, which featured Bush hits such as "Mouth" reworked by such producers as Goldie and Tricky, inspired the band to incorporate electronica into its sound, according to Bush drummer Robin Goodridge. "We were really excited by some of the reinterpretations of our material that people did," he said last year. Rossdale plans to delve into even more experimental territory on a solo album, which he said he hopes to record following Bush's next release. "I'll do something different and strange and untethered by other people," he said. "I think it'll be a combination of everything — I'd like to have a cross between Fugazi and Pere Ubu." Some of the tracks penned by Rossdale for The Science of Things that weren't included on that album may end up on his prospective solo release, Pagnotta said. In the meantime, Bush are planning to release a new single, "Warm Machine", featured on both The Science of Things and the soundtrack to the upcoming MTV movie "Jailbait." The just-completed video for the track will combine live footage of Bush with clips from the movie, Pagnotta said.

Bush Explains Next Single (3/8/00)
Bush closes out its European tour tonight (March 8) in Manchester, England with a show at the Academy. The band will then get ready to embark on the Campus Invasion tour, which starts at the University Of Central Florida on March 23. Opening for Bush is Moby.
Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale says the band's next single, "Warm Machine," is not about drugs. "Most of the songs on this record were written in Ireland," Rossdale explains. "This was like a song written about trying to go from a bad place to a good place, and this idea that a 'warm machine' would be something that takes you away. Not a drug reference -- just a reference about state of mind, about how you try to fit in and be accepted, which is ironic."

Bush's current single "Letting The Cables Sleep" is now among the top five Alternative Rock hits in the nation, according to Billboard's Modern Rock chart.
