Buckcherry [ tickets ] is hitting the ground running behind its forthcoming album, "Fifteen," which lands in stores next month.

The group is already on the road to pump up support for the new disc, and is scheduled to work the club circuit non-stop through at least early May. Details are included below.

Released in Japan last fall, "Fifteen" is Buckcherry's first full-length release since 2001's "Time Bomb." The group went on an indefinite hiatus after issuing that disc due to the temporary departure of lead singer and founding member Josh Todd.

"We were pulled apart by so many outside forces that took us away from what we set out to do," guitarist Keith Nelson said in a press release. He and Todd eventually reunited to play a benefit for late drummer Randy Castillo, and were then recruited by Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum to play in what eventually evolved into Velvet Revolver. "By the end, I was spent dealing with all the egos, I needed some time off," Nelson continued.

The guitarist received a co-writing credit on the Velvet Revolver Track "Dirty Little Thing," and continued to work with Todd after Slash and company moved on without them.

"It made us realize how fun it was to be in a band again," Todd added. "We focused on what mattered, the music."

Nelson produced "Fifteen," which features the debut of three new Buckcherry members: guitarist Steve D.; drummer Xavier Muriel; and bassist Jimmy Ashhurst.

"Fifteen" features the cut "Crazy Bitch," the music video for which is streaming at Buckcherry's website.
