Bush was an English alternative rock band formed in 1992. Their debut album was the self-released Sixteen Stone in 1994.
The group chose the name “Bush” because they used to live in Shepherd’s Bush, London.
Their first album, Sixteen Stone (1994), was a huge commercial success. Almost overnight, Bush went from playing small pubs in London to headlining arenas in the US, the result of extensive, non-stop touring. Critics labeled them as an inferior derivative of bands such as Nirvana and Pixies, and this criticism followed them throughout their career as a band. In particular, Rossdale’s throaty singing voice and random, stream of consciousness-style lyrics were dismissed by some as an imitation of Nirvana’s lead singer, Kurt Cobain. Although the band reached superstar status in the U.S., they failed to have much impact on the britpop riddled UK charts, the lone exception being their single
Swallowed, which reached #7. A change in record labels, management and an extended hiatus did not bode well for the band, who unofficially split in 2002.
Bush’s albums include Razorblade Suitcase (produced by Steve Albini), Deconstructed, The Science of Things, and Golden State, none of which matched the sales success of the debut album, Sixteen Stone.
Frustrated by the disappointing sales of Golden State (their fifth album, in 2001) and lack of support the band was receiving from Atlantic, the band decided to go on a hiatus. Band members went to work on various other musical projects notably Gavin Rossdale, and his new band Institute. Gavin Rossdale is the husband of Gwen Stefani.

Far Behind. The song from Candlebox you mean? You confuse everything. Bush is the band whose singer formed that supergroup with the remaining members of RATM when their vocalist dropped off.

DonnieSTFU is being a sarcastic prick I think. I was there for nirvana and I was there when every band after them got compared to them, but in reality they sound nothing alike, where as if you listen to music made now, you can't tell 2 bands apart and they all sing about crappy love, give me nonsensical gibberish any day of the week, bush ruled and through all the critisizing they got, they obviously did something right

THE best band ever! It's been over 15 years since Gavin'a suicide, but I still love 'em as much as I did back in the day, when I was wearing out my copy of In Utero. <3
