BUCKCHERRY Guitarist Keith Nelson: "It's Really About Enjoying What We're Doing"

Launch Radio Networks has issued the following report from Don Kaye:
Today (Tuesday, April 11th) marks the release of BUCKCHERRY's third album, titled 15 after the amount of days it took to record. The CD also commemorates the end of a hiatus that saw singer Joshua Todd and guitarist Keith Nelson put Buckcherry on ice for three or four years.
Nelson told us that reteaming with Todd made him re-evaluate their partnership: "Finding someone that I'm compatible with musically and personally has been really the hardest thing to find. So I think the time away for me made me appreciate Josh a lot more, and it also made me appreciate that there really aren't any real big deals, you know. And it's really about enjoying what we're doing, having fun, and keeping the lights on at the house while we're doing it."
Buckcherry broke up in 2001 after the disappointing response to its second effort, Time Bomb.
Buckcherry came onto the scene in 1999 with its self-titled debut, which featured the hits 'Lit Up', 'Check Your Head' and 'For The Movies'.
Buckcherry's new members include guitarist Steve D., drummer Xavier Muriel and bassist Jimmy Ashhurst.
The band is touring the U.S. now and plays in New York City tonight. Dates with NONPOINT are scheduled for later this spring.
