“There’s some messages of hope throughout the new BUSH album, even showcased in the title, The Kingdom, a place Rossdale imagines to be free of judgment and self-righteous people; a place where people can be free to express themselves.” – HuffPost

“Die-hard BUSH fans often recall Sixteen Stone as the group’s conquering work, but now may hear a potential rivalry with the coming of The Kingdom. BUSH’s album presents as a modern-age merge of early BUSH with a harder spin and enduring momentum.”

– American Songwriter

Los Angeles (July 17, 2020) – Iconic multiplatinum rock band BUSH have today released their eagerly-anticipated eighth studio album, The Kingdom, via BMG. Click HERE to buy/steam.

Full album tracklisting below.

The Kingdom has already racked up 20 million combined audio and video streams from the first two singles released off the album. The hard-charging track “Flowers On A Grave” is Top 10 on Active Rock Radio and is the follow up to the cinematic “Bullet Holes,” which had a quarter million Shazams on opening night after being heard by audiences all over the world atop the end credits to the international blockbuster, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.

In honor of the album release, music fans worldwide who are tired of intimate bedroom livestream performances can experience rock ‘n’ roll the way it should be with BUSH’s special, one-night only, free full production virtual arena show on Saturday, July 18.

ABOUT BUSH:

With a discography that includes such seminal rock albums as 1994’s 6x platinum-selling SIXTEEN STONE, ‘96’s triple-platinum-selling RAZORBLADE SUITCASE and ‘99’s platinum-selling THE SCIENCE OF THINGS, BUSH has sold close to 20 million records in the U.S. and Canada alone. They’ve also compiled an amazing string of 23 consecutive Top 40 hit singles on the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts. Eleven of those hit the Top 5, six of which shot to No. 1: “Comedown,” “Glycerine,” “Machinehead,” “Swallowed,” “The Chemicals Between Us” and “The Sound of Winter.” The latter made rock radio history as the first self-released song ever to hit No. 1 at Alternative Radio, where it spent 6 weeks perched atop the chart’s top spot. The song appeared on 2011’s “comeback album,” THE SEA OF MEMORIES, which was BUSH’s first studio album in ten years. That year Billboard ran a story about the band under the headline, “Like They Never Left” – a fitting title as the multi-platinum quartet (vocalist/songwriter/guitarist Gavin Rossdale, guitarist Chris Traynor, bassist Corey Britz and drummer Nik Hughes) promptly picked up where they left off. They’ve continued to dominate rock radio and play sold-out shows to audiences around the world ever since. The Kingdom follows 2017’s Black And White Rainbows, which People magazine hailed as “a triumphant return.”
