Bush was a post-grunge band from England, formed in 1992. Their debut album was the self-released Sixteen Stone in 1994.

The name Bush came about because they used to live in Shepherd's Bush, London. In Canada, they were once known as BushX, because the 1970s band Bush, led by Domenic Troiano, owned the Canadian rights to the name.

In April 1997, it was announced that Troiano had agreed to let them use the name Bush in Canada without the letter X, in exchange for donating $20,000 each to the Starlight Children's Foundation and the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund.

Bush rose to fame in the mid-90s after the grunge explosion. Riding a string of hits from Sixteen Stone and the death of grunge's flagship band Nirvana, they quickly became superstars.

In 1999, Bush released the album The Science of Things. The album was Bush's first studio album to not reach the top 10 in America (it hit number 11).
