Los Angeles hard rockers Buckcherry formed in mid-1995 after singer Joshua Todd and guitarist Keith Nelson were introduced through their tattoo artist; after cutting their earliest demos, the duo recruited bassist Jonathan (J.B.) Brightman and drummer Devon Glenn and began performing live, quickly earning a major following on the L.A. club scene. Following the subsequent addition of second guitarist Yogi, Buckcherry signed to DreamWorks Records, issuing their self-titled debut LP in 1999. Singles such as "Check Your Head" and "For the Movies" were modern rock hits for the band, allowing them to raise their profile by summer 2000. The following year, Buckcherry released their second album, Time Bomb. It wasn't widely received by critics, but dates opening for heroes, AC/DC, proved prominent for the band. In July 2002, founding member Joshua Todd unexpectedly left Buckcherry, which led to the band's demise.
