Gavin Rossdale goes solo

Thanks to Tied to the '90s tipster Chris for the nuggets of info

According to Billboard, Gavin Rossdale (of Bush fame) has a solo album entitled Wanderlust coming out June 3. You can listen to a 90-second clip of the first single, "Love Remains the Same," over at Alternative Addiction. It's ballady, and the lyrics actually make sense; quite the departure for Rossdale. You can also get the full single on iTunes, if you're so inclined.

You can watch a "trailer" for the album here; sadly, I can't embed it.
This isn't the first solo release from Rossdale: he did "Adrenaline" for the XXX soundtrack in 2002, shortly after Bush broke up, but then formed a new band, Institute, with late-period Bush guitarist Chris Traynor; that band is presumably dead and gone, as Billboard reports their 2005 album Distort Yourself only sold 54,000 copies in the US.

Here's vintage-1996 Rossdale, with Bush's "Swallowed":


(as an editorial note, it pisses me off that modern-rock radio still plays tracks off Bush's first album 45 times a day, but decent tracks off the later albums like "Swallowed" and "Chemicals Between Us" have completely fallen by the wayside).
