Gavin Rossdale says he and his old band, Bush, are ready to rock again.
Bush’s “Everything Always Now,” due out in October, will be the band’s first release since their last studio album, “Golden State,” which came out nine years ago.
“I was thinking, `Man, why is it not Bush? This is so crazy,’” Rossdale said. “I’m so pleased because I’ve got my voice back. To be in Bush, the band you’re basically born to be in, it’s like a suit of armor. It’s very exciting.”
The CD’s first single, “Afterlife,” is already out. “You want the band to evolve and you want to make songs that people really care about, but you also don’t want to repeat yourself,” Rossdale said. “I was mindful of that. My musical vocabulary is better all the time—I get better at playing guitar, I think this is the best I’ve ever sung, so I want the record to reflect that.”
Rossdale also sings on the new Apocalyptica single “End of Me” and covered Marc Bolan and T. Rex’s “Bang a Gong (Get It On)” for the new Santana album.
BTW, Rossdale said “Everything Always Now” is his way of dealing with rumors about he and his wife, No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani.
“There’s rumors about anything and everyone the whole time,” he says. “You just roll with the stuff. Some things are more daft than others, and some things can strike home. You’ve just got to go about your business, that’s all.”
