Marking 30 years as one of rock’s most loved and lasting bands, Bush has released a more intimate version of their song “Swallowed.” Originally featured on their 1996 album Razorblade Suitcase, the track has meant a lot to fans over the years and has continued to evolve through live performances. Personally, this is my favorite song of theirs, and it hits hard, just like it does in person. This new version brings a softer, more emotional feel, with a choral arrangement adding an extra layer of depth.

Gavin Rossdale shared, “There’s something about stripping a song back to its core — the melody holds all the power. I wanted ‘Swallowed’ to feel like a hymn.”

The release comes as the band continues their “Land of Milk and Honey” tour, with recent stops including Brooklyn Paramount and Stagecoach. The North American run goes through May 24, wrapping up at BottleRock Festival in Napa, California, before they head overseas for a European leg and later Australia in September.

Bush first made their mark in the ‘90s with their debut album, Sixteen Stone, followed by Razorblade Suitcase, which helped define their sound and success worldwide. With over 24 million records sold and more than a billion streams, the band — Gavin Rossdale, Chris Traynor, Corey Britz, and Nik Hughes — continues to stay active and connected with fans.

Their latest album, I Beat Loneliness (2025), along with this tour and new release, shows they’re still going strong.
