Post-grunge rock band Bush have announced a career spanning greatest hits album, covering arguably, their most defining and successful era beginning in 1994. The band have also released a new single, “Nowhere To Go But Everywhere” to accompany the announcement.
Bush are set to release a new greatest hits collection, spanning the entirety of their more than 30 years on the rock scene. The album, titled Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994-2023, will be released on 10 November and coincide with the 30th anniversary of their monumental debut record, Sixteen Stone. Containing 21 hit songs, the album will feature the new “Nowhere To Go But Everywhere” written and co-produced by frontman Gavin Rossdale.
Rossdale said of the new album and landmark, “I’m really grateful that I get the chance to make music after all of this time. The privilege is not lost on me. I’m still in the octagon, and I think that’s healthy because I’m good at fighting.”
The Grammy nominated outfit have selected tracks from all of their nine studio albums including smash hits “Everything Zen,” “Machinehead” and “Glycerine” from Sixteen Stone. Bush will also be heading out on a North American headlining tour to celebrate their 31 years as a band, beginning in November.
Forming in London in 1992, Bush became one of the most popular bands of the 90s, both in the UK and globally, with their breakaway hit Sixteen Stone. Spawning five lead singles, two of which, “Glycerine” and “Comedown,” remain the band’s most popular and successful tracks, the album cemented the band as one of the decade’s most successful acts. Sixteen Stone would go on to be certified Platinum and garner almost universal critical acclaim.
Long considered, arguably, a more popular band on the other side of the Atlantic, their follow up to Sixteen Stone, 1996’s Razorblade Suitcase topped the charts in the US and performed very well across European markets, although the album received less critical attention due to what many cited as a negative change sonically to what made their debut so successful.
Due to a decline in album sales and dwindling support from their label, Bush decided to call it quits in 2002 after ten years making music with members moving on to solo or alternate projects. Rossdale found some success with his band Institute and even, briefly, waded into the waters of acting.
Bush reunited in 2010 and have released five more studio records including 2022’s The Art Of Survival which received mostly positive reviews, with many believing it to be the best of their reunited years.
