The Buffalo Riot

Liverpool's very own self-produced classic rock powerhouse The Buffalo Riot are back with a new sound, and it's bigger than ever: Daydream Mouth, the record is due to be released on 20th September 2019. They celebrated their 10th anniversary as a band in January of this year, and after working on this new record for two years it seems like the perfect time to release it: the album they've always been capable of, just waiting to make. IMAGE (band?) With synergistic vocals from songwriters Ben Singleton and Iain Morley, the album has an American rock radio vibe: harmony, big sounds, resonance. The album stems from a really positive place, and that's reflected in the music. Paul Carroll on guitar, Jamie Sell on bass and Andy Fernihough on drums make up the rest of the band: a formation that just undeniably works. Creating sounds similar to The Jayhawks and War on Drugs, this latest evolution of The Buffalo Riot is the best yet. The tones are warm, the lyrics have an emotional richness, and the overall effect is utterly intoxicating. The album artwork, created by local designer Jono Jones, has been created to reflect the infrastructure that the band have created: mostly keeping themselves out of 'the scene', the band have thrived doing it on their own terms. From writing, rehearsing, organising, recording and promoting this new album and the associated shows, the band have sustained themselves. Working together with Nothingville Music and also through appearing in YouTube documentaries and on film soundtracks (more about that HERE), the band is always gaining traction both in their hometown of Liverpool, and across the pond in America. Previously, the band have released EPs, singles and most recently their sold-out album Pale Blue Oceans (2016); their music is available on Spotify (HERE) and Soundcloud (HERE), with videos on YouTube too. This upcoming album will be celebrated with a launch on the night of 20th September at St Brides Church in Liverpool (L8 7LT). Through a DIY crowd-fund on their online shop, fans are able to support the release of the new album at a price that suits them as well as through a ‘pay it forward’ option: a way of getting physical copies to fans on low income, or who just can’t spare the funds right now. Previously endorsed by magazines and other artists with praise such as ‘a naturalism that requires no effect, no push. It just is’ and ‘big tunes drenched in attention to detail’, The Buffalo Riot are a force to be reckoned with.
