Rock 'n' Roll is the seventh studio album by American hard rock band Buckcherry, released on August 21, 2015 by F-Bomb Records and Century Media Records.[1][2] It is the band's first album with bassist Kelly LeMieux and their last album with guitarist Keith Nelson and drummer Xavier Muriel before they both left Buckcherry in 2017, due to disagreements with vocalist Josh Todd over the band's direction.

Clocking in at 36 minutes, Rock 'n' Roll is Buckcherry’s shortest album.
