When Nirvana closed up shop in 1994, Britain's Bush were quick to seize an opportunity in a suddenly vacant market. Adding technical slickness to Nirvana's signature sound, Bush's songs are slick survey courses in music marketing. Singer/guitarist Gavin Rossdale's howl echoes that of the late Kurt Cobain, yet something about Bush's craft screams "We are the Champions," instead of "Loser." Guitars turn corners with robotic precision and rhythms are exact, underscored by radio-ready modern rock hooks.
