BUCKSPEED BIOGRAPHY
Born as Bullfrog Francis in August 2006. Raised as BUCKSPEED – a potent rock monster that’ll have you come back for more and more. And then some! It’s just as far from rocket science as rock’n’roll should be when guitarist Thrane, drummer Roan, bassist Smithers and singer Rosenkilde whip their dicks out and let their riff driven bastard sons tear you apart with the immense energy and IYF attitude of an unadjusted teen – paying tribute to the likes of Alice In Chains - Stone Temple Pilots - Faith No More - and Soundgarden in the process.
BUCKSPEED is the brainchild of childhood friends Thrane and Rosenkilde who spent the 90s in several different bands – Thrane mocking about in pretty much every genre from funk to hard rock, Rosenkilde always dedicated to the harder incarnations of rock – but never the same. 2006 saw that change when talk was replaced by action and Thrane, one of the best kept secrets on the Danish guitar circuit, and debuting singer Rosenkilde finally teamed up. Enter Roan, an experienced drummer with several rock acts under his belt, and Smithers, an all round bassist with an incredible feel for music whether he’s playing pop, funk or rock, and BUCKSPEED came to its nasty self.
Already a tight live band BUCKSPEED went into Motorcity Studio in early March 2007 to record a four song demo, produced and engineered by Jakob Meyland and Mads Greis (Mani Spinx, Death To Frank Ziyanak among others), which you can enjoy absolutely free of charge above:
NO TIME TO WASTE: The classic theme of having the courage to go your own ways – wherever they may take you. The first song to emerge from the BUCKSPEED matrix it’s in many ways defining for the quartet’s energetic sound and style with its melodic verse, catchy chorus and heavy riffs.
BLOODSTAINS: Black holes and absolutely no revelations! A song about the altogether unpleasant Sunday morning panic spawned by excessive alcohol consumption Saturday night. What went wrong? Did anything go wrong? There’s no way to be sure, but the bloodstains won’t come of…
BROKEN HEARTBEAT: One for the women (men, go get the barf bucket!). The beauty of love, the insecurities that come with being in love. A song about daring to trust and follow your heart – even though you might easily end up hurt. The aggressive and syncopated chorus suggests the latter is the case…
AGONY: A song about despair, about the sense of not being master in your own house, when you realize that you’re just a minor piece of life’s mind-bogglingly big puzzle. Classic riff based hard rock with yet another of the catchy BUCKSPEED-choruses that you will come to love!
