Ask Josh Todd, lead singer of Ami hard rockers Buckcherry, about his goals for the multi-Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling troupe, and there's a clear message: "I want to reach out to people and host the party and give them a night to remember." Such phrases should be able to be proven musically, and Buckcherry manage to do just that on their eighth album, "Warpaint," from start to finish of the 43-minute record, punctuating lines like "I wanna have fun blowing out your ear drums keep it rocking state to state" with powerful, driving, mostly snappy snot-rock numbers that are some of the best material the band, formed in 1995, has ever released, seamlessly following up hits like "Crazy Bitch" and "Lit Up." "Warpaint" is an absolute recommendation for fans of dirty rock and the first collaboration with Mike Plotnikoff since the successful album "15".
