In 1994, Bush found immediate success outside the UK with the release of their debut album, Sixteen Stone, which is certified six times multi-platinum by the RIAA.<ref>RIAA Certification. RIAA Retrieved 12 April 2017</ref> They went on to become one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the 1990s, selling over ten million records in the United States and 20 million records worldwide.
Despite their success in the US (especially in the mid-1990s), the band were considerably less popular in their home country and they have enjoyed only marginal success there.<ref name=":0" />

HistoryEdit
Formation and Sixteen Stone (1992–1995)Edit
After leaving his band Midnight, Gavin Rossdale met former King Blank guitarist Nigel Pulsford at a Wembley performance by Baby Animals opening for Bryan Adams in November 1991.<ref name="twentyseven" /> The two musicians became friends over a shared appreciation for several artists,<ref name="twentyseven" /> including Big Black, The Fall, Pixies, and The Velvet Underground.<ref name="twentyseven" /> They formed a new band which they called Future Primitive. Describing the early sound of the group, one British record label executive said years later, "They weren't what they are today – they were a little like the more commercial side of INXS".<ref name="Nirvanawannabes">Daly, Steven. "Nirvanawannabes". Rolling Stone. 18 April 1996. Retrieved on 14 July 2009.</ref> To complete the lineup, the pair recruited bassist Dave Parsons, and drummer Robin Goodridge joined in mid-1993 shortly before Bush were signed.<ref name="BBCmusic">Template:Cite news</ref> While still known as Future Primitive, the band released the song "Bomb",<ref name="twentyseven" /> later to be featured on the band's debut, as a single through Rossdale's own Mad Dog Winston Records.<ref name="twentyseven">Template:Cite book</ref> Rossdale's goal was for Bush to sign with 4AD because of his love for their bands Cocteau Twins, Pixies and Throwing Muses.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
In 1993, the band was signed by Rob Kahane, who had a distribution deal with Disney's Hollywood Records. The band completed recording its debut album Sixteen Stone in early 1994. However, the death of Disney executive Frank G. Wells eliminated a supporter for Kahane, and executives at Hollywood deemed Bush's album unacceptable for release. Consequently, the bandmates took jobs performing menial labour. Interscope Records ultimately decided to release the album, and at the end of 1994, Kahane sent an advance copy of the album to a friend at influential Los Angeles radio station KROQ-FM, which added the song "Everything Zen" to its rotation.<ref name="Nirvanawannabes" />
On the Billboard charts (North America), Sixteen Stone peaked at No. 4 on the Heatseekers and Billboard 200 charts. The album spawned two Top 40 singles. After about six months of promotion for Sixteen Stone, the album began to sell well, once "Comedown" and "Glycerine" struck America. Additionally, "Little Things" and "Machinehead" both charted well in North America.
In Canada, the band were initially forced to release Sixteen Stone under the name BushX, as the 1970s Canadian band Bush still held the rights to the name Bush in the Canadian market.<ref>"The battle for Bush: Canadian band duking it out with Brits over its name". Halifax Daily News, 12 June 1997.</ref> The dispute arose after the British band's lawyers threatened to intervene to prevent the Canadian band from reissuing its 1970 album,<ref name=xcellent>"X-cellent solution found to band's name woes". Waterloo Region Record, 16 April 1997.</ref> although it was entirely between the bands' lawyers as Rossdale and Domenic Troiano, the leader of the Canadian band, both expressed a willingness to negotiate a solution.<ref>"X marks the sore spot for mega-popular BushX". Hamilton Spectator, 10 January 1997.</ref> In 1997, after the band's second album Razorblade Suitcase also bore the X, Rossdale and Troiano directly negotiated an agreement under which the British band were allowed to drop the X in exchange for donating $20,000 each to the Starlight Foundation and the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund.<ref name=xcellent/> Both Sixteen Stone and Razorblade Suitcase were then reissued without the X.<ref>"Both `X' and grunge gone from British Bush". Ottawa Citizen, 22 May 1997.</ref>
Razorblade Suitcase (1996–1998)Edit
In late 1996 Bush released the first single "Swallowed" from their second album titled Razorblade Suitcase. The song spent seven weeks on top of the Modern Rock Tracks chart. This was followed by single "Greedy Fly". The album hit number 1 in America and placed high in many European countries. Razorblade Suitcase featured American recording engineer Steve Albini, a move which was viewed negatively by critics. Albini had worked with Nirvana on their final studio album, In Utero, three years before. Bush later released the remix album Deconstructed. The album saw Bush re-arranging their songs into dance and techno stylings. The album went platinum less than a year after release.
The Science of Things (1999–2000)Edit
Following the completion of touring, Rossdale went into seclusion in Ireland, where he worked on material for the group's next album, periodically sending demo tapes of his works in progress to his bandmates. The group finally convened to record in London in August 1998, where the band reteamed with Sixteen Stone producers Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley.<ref>Uhelzski, Jaan. "Beating Around the Bush Template:Webarchive". Rolling Stone. 17 November 1998. Retrieved on 14 July 2009.</ref>
The release of The Science of Things was stymied by a court battle between the band and Trauma Records. The case was settled in early 1999 and the album was finally released that October.<ref>Eliscu, Jenny. "Bush's Wait Problem Template:Webarchive". Rolling Stone. 6 August 1999. Retrieved on 14 July 2009.</ref> The Science of Things was a major departure in several forms from Bush's first two albums. Like the multi-platinum successes of Bush's first two albums, this album also reached platinum status. Also, while the band's previous albums were strongly influenced by grunge, The Science of Things featured some electronic music influences in addition to the sound defined by Bush's earlier work. For example, although lead single "The Chemicals Between Us" had a prominent guitar riff, it also had many electronic elements usually found in dance music. Although the album had a few hit songs, it failed to chart in the top 10.
The band's performance at Woodstock '99, however, helped The Science of Things achieve platinum status despite its slow start. Three singles were released from The Science of Things, most notably "The Chemicals Between Us", which spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Modern Rock Tracks and peaked at No. 67 on the US Hot 100. "Warm Machine" was the second single released. "Letting the Cables Sleep", the third single, reached No. 4 on the Modern Rock Tracks and also received considerable airplay, and appeared in an episode of the medical drama series ER.
Golden State and breakup (2001–2002)Edit
In October 2001, now on the Atlantic Records record label, Bush released its next album, Golden State. While the album attempted to return to the simple, catchy sound of the band's debut, it failed to achieve the same commercial success as the band's previous releases. Several singles were released, most notably the hit "The People That We Love (Speed Kills)", but none were mainstream successes. The album was the band's least successful, selling only 380,000 copies in the US. "The People That We Love (Speed Kills)" was used in the game Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2. In January 2002, Pulsford retired after the release of Golden State to spend more time with his family. Chris Traynor filled in for him for the subsequent tour, which would turn out to be Bush's last for eight years. Due to declining record sales and a lack of support from Atlantic Records, Bush disbanded in 2002. In 2005, a greatest hits album called The Best of '94–'99 and a live album called Zen X Four were released.
Post-breakup (2003–2010)Edit
Gavin Rossdale formed a new band, Institute, in 2004, serving as their lead vocalist and guitarist, just as in Bush. Chris Traynor also joined the band, as lead guitarist. In addition to playing in Institute, Traynor also joined the reunited metal band Helmet in 2004 on bass; he quit the band in 2006. Institute released one album, Distort Yourself, but failed to achieve much commercial success in spite of opening for U2's Vertigo Tour at some shows. Institute broke up in 2006 and Rossdale then embarked on a solo career. In 2007, he covered the John Lennon song "Mind Games" for the Lennon tribute album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. His first solo album, Wanderlust, supported by leading single "Love Remains the Same", was released in June 2008. Rossdale also ventured into acting, appearing in the films Zoolander, Little Black Book, The Game of Their Lives, Constantine, How to Rob a Bank and others.
Robin Goodridge recorded with the British rock band Elyss in 2004, although they have not released any new material since. In 2006, Goodridge began drumming for indie rock band Spear of Destiny, and appeared on their 2007 album, Imperial Prototype. During the summer of 2008, he toured the UK with British rock band Stone Gods after their current drummer Ed Graham reportedly fell ill. On 29 July it was announced that Graham had left the band and on 6 October 2008, the band's website announced that Goodridge had joined the band. Nigel Pulsford spent most of his time since leaving Bush raising his children with his wife. In an interview with Blender, Gavin Rossdale admitted that the likelihood of a Bush reunion was "very high". He then added "quite high".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In a November 2008 interview, Rossdale revealed that he had tried to contact the other members of Bush, "I reached out to them".
Reunion and The Sea of Memories (2010–2013)Edit
On 22 June 2010, it was announced that Bush would play their first show in eight years at the second-annual Epicenter Music Festival in Fontana, California on 25 September 2010. A new album, then-titled Everything Always Now, was also announced as well as a new single "Afterlife". Founding members Nigel Pulsford and Dave Parsons both decided not to rejoin the band.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Pulsford's and Parsons' successors were previous touring member Chris Traynor and Corey Britz, former bassist for The Calling, respectively. The new line-up played seven shows in 2010, performing songs from Bush's previous four albums as well as a new song, "Afterlife".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Gavin announced on radio that their new album had been named The Sea of Memories and was released in September and managed to peak at No. 18 on the Billboard Top 200. The album's first single, "The Sound of Winter" was released in July 2011 and reached number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> On 19 November 2011, Bush performed a live set for "Guitar Center Sessions" on DirecTV. The episode included an interview with program host, Nic Harcourt.<ref>Guitar Center Sessions with host Nic Harcourt Template:Webarchive Retrieved 10 October 2013.</ref> Their song "Into The Blue" was featured on The Avengers soundtrack album released on 1 May 2012.

"The twelve songs on Sixteen Stone sound exactly like what grunge is supposed to sound like, while the whole point of grunge was that it didn't really sound like anything, including itself.

Bush have noted Nirvana's music as a key influence in their work,<ref name="TMC">Template:Cite news</ref> but remained insistent that their style is original.<ref name="Nirvanawannabes" /> Talking to The Morning Call in February 1996, lead guitarist Nigel Pulsford remarked "Nirvana was a big influence. They acted as a catalyst, put the guitar band back in vogue and inspired us to perform".<ref name="TMC" /> Of the similarities in the music of the two acts, Gavin Rossdale told Rolling Stone that he "hoped" there was an element of Nirvana in Bush but also that felt he "had [his] own thing".<ref name="Nirvanawannabes" /> In 2011, Rossdale named the Pixies as "the most influential band" to him;<ref name="BushCritics">Template:Cite news</ref> indeed, founding members Pulsford and Rossdale became friends in part over a shared interest in the Pixies.<ref name="twentyseven" /> Rossdale also acknowledged Alice in Chains as a major influence in his formative days as a rock musician, in particular the song "Man in the Box" (1990), which he described as "a pivotal song for me as a songwriter and a young musician trying to figure out my own aesthetic".<ref name="wardlaw24">Template:Cite news</ref> In addition, members of Bush have cited artists including The Beatles,<ref name="twentyseven" /> Big Black,<ref name="twentyseven" /> David Bowie,<ref name="RecordsChangedLife">Template:Cite news</ref> Bob Dylan,<ref name="RecordsChangedLife" /> PJ Harvey,<ref name="RecordsChangedLife" /> Hole,<ref name="Vice14" /> Hüsker Dü,<ref name="twentyseven" /> Jane's Addiction,<ref name="Banas">Template:Cite news</ref> My Bloody Valentine,<ref name="Banas" /> Led Zeppelin,<ref name="POTD">Template:Cite news</ref> Tom Petty,<ref name="sherek">Template:Cite news</ref> The Replacements,<ref name="twentyseven" /> Sex Pistols,<ref name="RecordsChangedLife" /> Smashing Pumpkins,<ref name="Vice14" /> Sonic Youth,<ref name="twentyseven" /> Soul Asylum,<ref name="Banas" /> Soundgarden,<ref name="Vice14">Template:Cite news</ref> and Neil Young as influential or inspirational.<ref name="BB95">Template:Cite magazine</ref>
