BuckCherry is a band that no longer receives considerable publicity for its efforts. The best remedy in such a situation is to leak a track off of an upcoming album and then blame music pirates for the leak. This task is best undertaken if you are capable of leaving a trail that can be easily followed back to the source.

So begins the tale of fail that is Josh Klemme, band manager of BuckCherry. When he initially released the track, the band posted a press release to their site stating: “Honestly, we hate it when this s*** happens, because we want our FANS to have any new songs first.”

But TorrentFreak was on the case and used their connections in the underworld to track down the initial seeder’s IP. Once that was obtained, the IP was verified with Wiki-scanner which noted that the IP was responsible for adding Josh Klemme’s name to the BuckCherry band article on Wikipedia. From there, TorrentFreak went fishing for trolls by soliciting an email from Klemme which yielded an x-originating-IP that matched the Wikipedia editor’s address. Busted!

Inquiring sites have been unable to get a response from Klemme since the news broke early on Friday. Reeking with the scent of a cover-up for the gaffe, BuckCherry’s press release has also disappeared. Reuters, however, has been kind enough to run and keep the initial release.
