Groove Podcast: How Corey Britz Found His Voice on Bass With BUSH

Corey Britz doesn’t just hold down the low end for Bush, he’s a living masterclass in how to evolve as both a bassist and a human being in an industry that rarely encourages either. In this episode of Groove – The No Treble Podcast, Corey opens up about the long road to becoming the official bassist for one of the most iconic post-grunge bands of the ‘90s, and how his years as a session and touring musician with artists like Gavin Rossdale (when he was solo) and The Calling shaped the kind of player he’s become.

You’ll hear about the thrill of stepping into a legacy, how he navigated the pressure of honoring Bush’s original sound while making it his own, and why he believes that groove is as much about listening as it is about playing. We also get into the technical details from his tone, his gear, his love for the interplay between bass and vocal phrasing, but it’s Corey’s emotional clarity and creative honesty that shine through most. He talks candidly about the emotional push-pull of being in a band with a global fanbase, the gift of playing music that still matters to so many, and how he’s learned to silence the noise and trust his instincts on stage and off.

Corey reminds us that bass is more than an instrument… it’s a voice, a presence, and sometimes, a life raft. You will come away with a better understanding of what it means to be both adaptable and grounded, especially when the spotlight doesn’t always find you first. If you’re a fan of Bush, love the bass, or just want to hear a smart, funny, soulful musician talk about the moments that matter, this one’s for you. Corey’s story is as much about persistence as it is about performance, and in a world of ego and excess, his humility and depth cut through like a perfectly placed root note.

Enjoy the conversation.
