Buckcherry guitarist Steve Dacanay has opened up about their latest album Breaking Down The Barrier, revealing that the band recorded it in 10 days. In an interview with Shawn Ratches of Laughingmonkeymusic, he said, “We worked on this one with Marti Frederiksen, who's like the sixth member of AEROSMITH. So the feel is gonna be a little bit different as well compared to previous BUCKHERRY albums.”
He continued, “We banged one out in no time. Josh Todd, BUCKCHERRY singer and I had been, since quarantine, we started writing. And by the time September came around, we were ready to start tracking another album. But what we did is we went to Nashville and we wrote another batch of songs with Marti Frederiksen, and we were all ready to go by October, to record. We were so ready that it literally took us less than 10 days to record the whole thing.”
According to Steve, Buckcherry wrote over 25 songs this time around but ended up recording only 10. He explained, “We thought about releasing a double album, but right now, a lot of people aren't releasing full-length albums — a lot of people just release singles and videos. So, we decided to cull the whole thing down to 10. The Japan release, we're gonna release two extras.
