BUCKCHERRY have announced that a brand new track from the band, entitled 'Wherever I Go', will appear on the upcoming soundtrack for the new film, The Avengers. The album is available May 1st, and The Avengers film premieres May 4th.

Says the band: "The song was written specifically for the film, and was recorded during the sessions for our upcoming album. Check it out and hope you dig it!"

Buckcherry recently posted two studio updates online offering a behind- the-scenes look at the recording process for their new album. They also discuss the songs currently in the works.

Watch for more updates in the coming weeks

Back in December 2011, Buckcherry frontman John Todd spoke with RockAndMetalNews.com. An excerpt is available below:

RMN: How did signing with 11-7 Music change you guys? Did it free you up and give you more creative control? What was behind the decision to go with them?

Todd: "11-7 was actually created for Buckcherry. We were the first band to be on it so that we could put an album out. Our manager created it because at the time, nobody would sign our record 15, which was our highest selling record of all that we have put out. It’s a great story because since we couldn’t get a proper record deal in the states, he started a record label for us. We were the first record and the rest is history. Now, there are all sorts of great bands on the label. It’s just so good to be independent. Basically, a major record label is really just a bank. If you are just starting out and don’t really have a fan base built up yet, a major label can get you on a bill and get tour support. Once you’ve established that base, the way to go is independent. You have more control over everything."

RMN: You mentioned All Night Long, which came out in 2010. Are you guys writing or working on any new material yet? With all of your touring, have you even had any time to do so?

Todd: "We’re thinking about doing a concept record, so we have some ideas in the works. We’ve been writing some songs, but we have to see how it’s all going to come out. I think it’s going to be really cool."

RMN: Wow, a concept record? That definitely has my curiosity peaked. I can’t wait to hear that. Speaking of curious, I wanted to ask how it was opening up for KISS back in 2009

Todd: "It was amazing! That was actually the second KISS tour that we got to go on. We got to open up for them in Europe on our first record. We did a whole tour with them, 24 dates, when they decided to put their makeup back on. We were a brand new band, we had never been on arena stages and we had never been to Europe. It was very intimidating, but we had such a good time on that tour. KISS is really cool because they support real rock and roll bands and they were very cool to us. They took us under their wing back then and we really appreciated it. Then, we got the privilege to do it again on here in the States."
