Mad About Rock

  British rock band Bush formed in 1992 and released their debut album 'Sixteen Stone' in 1994. Now, in 2025, they have just recently released their tenth album, 'I Beat Loneliness', via earMusic. We spoke to the frontman of the band, Gavin Rossdale, to find out all about the new electrifying release, which is one of their most personal and honest records to date. The day I spoke to Gavin was Wednesday Evening UK time on the 30th July, the day of Ozzy Osbourne's funeral procession in Birmingham and Gavin briefly touched on the power of Ozzy in the beginning of our conversation as we exchanged pleasantries, commenting "There is a lot about Ozzy in the air and debt that we owe him."  I also caught Gavin on a day off from the Shinedown American tour, in which Bush is supporting. Gavin was excited and eager to share his tour experience. "It has been really amazing to play this new record live and integrate it with the other songs. It's a bit more expe...

  Today, BUSH released the evocative video for “Scars”, a standout track from their album I Beat Loneliness. A powerful meditation on mental health, internal conflict, and self-reckoning, the video takes viewers on an introspective journey through the darker corners of the mind. Spanning 12 anthemic and soul-baring tracks, I Beat Loneliness opens an unflinching conversation around emotional vulnerability — especially the silence that often surrounds men’s mental health. On tracks like “Scars” — the record’s focus track — BUSH confronts that silence head-on. “Scars” is a raw reckoning with pain and healing, turning wounds into proof of survival. From seismic rock choruses to stripped-down confessions, the album dares listeners to feel everything — reminding us that healing starts when the silence ends. Gavin Rossdale said: “This is the most personal record I’ve ever made. It’s there so people don’t feel so alone. Life is beautiful but not easy. ‘Scars’ works perfectly as the openi...

  Today, BUSH release their 10th studio album, I Beat Loneliness — a bold, emotionally charged body of work born from heartbreak, isolation, and deep self-examination. Produced by Erik Ron (Panic! At The Disco), the record is steeped in the honesty and cathartic power that has defined Rossdale’s career. Introduced by first single ‘The Land of Milk and Honey’ a gritty yet euphoric anthem, and ‘60 Ways to Forget People’, a slow-burn reckoning with memory and loss, the album pushes further into visceral territory.

  Bush is back with their unique electrifying sound with their anticipated tenth album, 'I Beat Loneliness', which is released worldwide on July 18th 2025. The album gets off to a gripping start with the striking 'Scars', which has a particularly catchy and powerful chorus. The title track 'I Beat Loneliness' features pleasing and charming vocals, accompanied by driven, commanding riffs, making it a good representation of the album and the band's sound. The already released single 'Land Of Milk And Honey' embodies the signature Bush sound, with alluring vocals and a high-impact chorus, and sports a darker vibe, making it a standout moment. 'We're All The Same On The Inside' is uplifting, dynamic, and relatable. Changing up the tempo and direction, 'Don't Be Afraid' offers a more soothing, mellow moment with emotive vocals, keeping things diverse. 'Footsteps In The Sand' picks up the pace again and is equally ambient an...
