Bush announce sidewaves
The headline from a recent Billboard article says it all: “Like They Never Left.” Legendary British rockers Bush, fronted by charismatic lead singer Gavin Rossdale, had more success in their first half dozen years of their career than most bands do in a lifetime. Forging a sound that would go on to characterize an entire decade releasing some of the most successful rock albums that redefined a generation.
