Interview by Sam Spade from The Midnight Devils

US rockers Buckcherry return to Australia this September for a run of shows hot on the heels of their massively successful new album Vol. 10 which came out earlier this year.
Almost a quarter of a century after their debut self-titled album, Buckcherry are still the benchmark for good time party rock, with an always energetic live performance to compliment their catchy as fuck impressive catalogue that, of course, includes Crazy Bitch, Lit Up and Sorry.
Taking a fresh approach to cornering frontman Josh Todd ahead of the band's trip Down Under, HEAVY asked The Midnight Devils frontman Sam Spade to take the reins in what proved a master-stroke in terms of coaxing the best out of Todd.
Spade and Todd connected instantly over rock and roll, discussing Buckcherry's upcoming Australian tour with Rose Tattoo and their new record, Vol. 10. They also talked about the band's history, their dedication to touring and live performances, and the challenges of being on the road. The conversation highlighted the band's resilience and commitment to their music, as well as the unique lifestyle of touring musicians.
Josh and Sam also discussed the profound impact of sobriety on their creative processes and overall productivity. They emphasized the fallacy of associating substance use with creativity and expressed their commitment to maintaining sobriety despite the temptations they encounter in their industry. 
Additionally, they talked about the challenges and opportunities presented by the modern music industry, emphasizing the importance of embracing change and leveraging digital platforms to reach and engage with audiences.
