BUCKCHERRY's latest album, "Roar Like Thunder", came out in June 2025. As with 2023's "Vol. 10" and 2021's "Hellbound", "Roar Like Thunder" was recorded in Nashville at Sienna Studios and helmed by producer and songwriter-for-hire Marti Frederiksen, who has previously collaborated with AEROSMITH, DEF LEPPARD, Jonny Lang and Sheryl Crow, among many others. All 10 tracks were written by BUCKCHERRY singer Josh Todd, guitarist Stevie Dacanay (a.k.a. Stevie D.) and Frederiksen.

In a 2025 interview with Randy Crews of Springfield, Missouri's Q102 radio station, Josh was asked what changes he has seen in the music industry since he formed BUCKCHERRY 30 years ago. He responded: "Everything. [Laughs] I mean, when we started, it was a controlled marketplace. Rock radio was much bigger at the time. You could sell records. There was no streaming. As soon as technology ramped up and the streaming and everything, it's like… I was just talking to my mother today. She's, like, 'How's the record doing?' And I'm, like, I go, 'Mom, nobody sells records anymore.' It's a promotional tool now. And it's really sad that it's come down to that. And now pop artists and hip-hop artists are feeling it, but it affected the raw genre at the beginning the worst, so we got hit the worst with it. So it's just a different thing. The cool part about streaming is that there's playlists and people find your music and then they get really into your catalog. And so we're getting a whole lot of young people that are just getting into BUCKCHERRY for the first time because they heard a song on one of their streaming playlists, which is cool. And then they come out to the show and that. But now, as far as being a rock artist, if you wanna make a living at this, you have to be on stage. It's just touring and merchandise."
