 Multi-Platinum rockers Buckcherry pick up where the top 10 hit “Sorry” left off with a sneak peek at “Don’t Go Away” from their upcoming Eleven Seven Music/Atlantic Records’ Black Butterfly (out on 09.16.08) on the homepage of MSN Music (music.MSN.com) exclusively for one week beginning Thursday, August 28.
“Too Drunk . . .” the first single from the new CD, has become a viral sensation and is headed to the top 10 on next week’s rock charts.
The next great American rock band is winding up its summer stint on Crüe Fest (alongside Mötley Crüe, Papa Roach, Sixx:A.M. and Trapt) during which they played to over half a million rock fans over two months. A tour with Avenged Sevenfold begins in early September.
Preview the track now and then check out the 12-song set Black Butterfly that strides forward with the kind of confidence and spirit of adventure you expect from a band that feels it constantly has more to prove.
Buckcherry have also released an X-Rated video for their upcoming single
'Too Drunk...' following the bands earlier release of a stripped down
video following the singles internet leak.
The new clip features Burning Angel's Joanna Angel, and is taken
from the bands upcoming album 'Black Butterfly' which is due for
release on September 16th.
Watch the new video below.
As previously reported byTorrentFreak, when BuckCherry found out that their
latest single had leaked on BitTorrent, they didn’t try to cover this
up, or take the file down. No, instead, they issued a press release,
where they stated: “Honestly, we hate it when this s*** happens,
because we want our FANS to have any new songs first.”
This is strange to say the least. Not only because their label,
Atlantic Records, is known to release (and spam) tracks for free on
BitTorrent sites, but also because the press release was more about
promoting the band than the actual leak. Without any hard evidence, we
suggested that this leak may have been set up to get some free
promotion and publicity, which BuckCherry seems to need.
Out of curiosity, we decided to follow this up, to see if this was
indeed the case. With some help of a user in the community, we tracked
down some of the initial seeders of the torrent. A BitTorrent site
insider was kind enough to help us out, because BitTorrent is not
supposed to be “abused” like this, and confirmed that the IP of one of
the early seeders did indeed belong to the person who uploaded the
torrent file.
It turns out that the uploader, a New York resident, had only uploaded
one torrent, the BuckCherry track. When we entered the IP-address into
the Wiki-scanner, we found out that the person in question had edited
the BuckCherry wikipedia entry, and added the name of the band manager
to another page.
This confirmed our suspicions, but it was not quite enough, since it
could be an overly obsessed fan (if they have fans). So, we decided to
send the band manager, Josh Klemme - who happens to live in New York -
an email to ask for his opinion on our findings. Klemme, replied to our
email within a few hours, and surprisingly enough his IP-address was
the same as the uploader.
