Gavin Rossdale isn’t ready to fade into the background. Not even close. On I Beat Loneliness, the tenth studio album from BUSH, he’s louder, leaner, and more locked in than ever. Produced by Rossdale and Erik Ron (known for cranking up the intensity for Godsmack and Bad Omens), the new record trades nostalgia for clarity, fusing the brooding grunge of Sixteen Stone with a sharper, more modern edge that doesn’t pull its punches.

The album’s first single, “60 Ways To Forget People,” set the emotional bar high. It’s a slow burn that builds into a roar, tackling heartbreak, self-reflection, and the brutal discipline required to grow beyond your past. “It’s an ode to sacrifice,” Rossdale explains. “A dedication to the focus it takes to be better. All the time and in all things.” That hard-earned wisdom threads through the album like barbed wire, with songs that confront mental health, isolation, and the quiet work of resilience.

That resilience turns defiant on “The Land of Milk and Honey,” the blistering second single that throws punches at power structures, societal illusions, and the emotional fallout of modern life. With its electrified energy and searing lyrics, the song doubles as a mission statement. “It’s a wild ride into the heart of the new record,” Rossdale says. “Built to be played loud—to liberate and uplift. That’s the spirit behind it.”

And yet, I Beat Loneliness never feels weighed down. It’s visceral, vibrant, and very much alive - proof that BUSH aren’t just aging gracefully, they’re evolving fearlessly. Rossdale, joined by longtime bandmates Chris Traynor, Corey Britz, and Nik Hughes, brings a fresh urgency to each track, refusing to rest on past glories.

Thirty years after crashing into the mainstream with Sixteen Stone, Bush remain a dominant force in modern rock, with over 25 million albums sold and more than a billion streams. Following last year’s Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994–2023 and a major tour, the band shows no signs of slowing down. A North American summer tour kicks off July 19, with a run through Europe and the UK alongside Volbeat beginning September 18.
