Bush's new tune "Man on the Run" is a stomping piece of rock thunder infused with a little bit of EDM and you can hear it now over at Billboard.
The track is off of the band's new album of the same name and scheduled for an Oct. 21 release date. Frontman Gavin Rossdale spoke with Billboard about the state of rock and the difficulty of getting people interested in an entire album. "Rock is in this weird shadow and there are some great bands around -- Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Deftones, TV On The Radio," he said. "We argue that rock is back to its sort of counter-culture place, so for me it was how do you make a record when no one wants records and no one wants rock records? So there's the challenge right there. The gauntlet is laid down, so how to you make it interesting?"
Rossdale's solution? EDM. "I approached the whole record from the live perspective, thinking about the EDM music and what is it that people are getting so lost in EDM about and what is the whole tribal thing that's going on there?" he explained. "It's that moment in Ibiza where 10,000 people lift their hands up in the air and lose themselves in the music, that whole push-pull crowd control thing that I was really interested in capturing on this (album), to get that pulse and that beat and then put a great (melody) top line on it and the guitars. I'm just trying to find a way to be interested and inspired and keep making records."
Bush is planning a big tour to support Man On The Run in 2015 and will be reissuing some of their back catalog throughout October.
