Bush's debut album "Sixteen Stone" represents a fascinating story of unexpected success and harsh criticism in the mid-90s post-grunge era. Background Gavin Rossdale, from a privileged London background, initially struggled in the music industry after his first band Midnight failed. After relocating to California in 1991, he was heavily influenced by the Seattle scene, particularly after seeing Nirvana at the Roxy. . Formation and Early Days Bush formed when Rossdale met guitarist Nigel Pulsford at a Bryan Adams concert in 1991. The band, completed by Dave Parsons and Robin Goodridge, struggled initially in London's music scene. The members supported themselves through odd jobs - Rossdale painted dentist offices, while Goodridge drove an ice cream truck to transport equipment The Break Their fortunes changed when manager Dave Dorrell helped develop their sound, and American executive Rob Kahane signed them to Trauma Records. However, after Disney's Hollywood Records dropped their distribution deal, the album sat in limbo for months. The breakthrough came when LA's KROQ radio started playing "Everything Zen" in late 1994, leading to Interscope Records picking up distribution. . Success and Controversy "Sixteen Stone" produced five top-ten hits including "Comedown," "Glycerine," and "Machinehead," eventually selling over six million copies in America. The band found massive success in the US while struggling in their native UK, where they famously played to 60,000 fans in Washington DC but only 150 people in Birmingham, England The Backlash Critics labeled Bush as "corporate grunge" and "Nirvana wannabes." The band faced additional criticism over Rossdale's good looks, with Rolling Stone publishing a controversial shirtless cover story questioning their credibility. Despite the backlash, Bush maintained a diverse fanbase, drawing both teenage girls and older listeners, and successfully transitioned from clubs to arena shows within eight months of their debut's release1 . The album's success was partly attributed to perfect timing - 1995 was a relatively quiet year for alternative rock releases, giving Bush less competition in the market
