Another singer songwriter blah blah blah

This girl knows what she is and isn’t afraid to say it.

In a music world full of budding singer songwriters, trying to live the dream and make a living from music (some disillusioned, some full of ego) it’s refreshing to hear from someone who is humble and wise enough (at 19!) to realise that they are not the only performer in the world and that they are by no means unique.

This kind of ‘eyes open’ attitude oozes potential...

Noel Gallagher - New Single...

It's been a long wait since the infamous split of one of Britain’s biggest and most influential bands (Oasis) but for many fans it has been worth it, as Noel Gallagher releases his new single (‘The Death Of You and Me') Noel has long had a knack of effortlessly putting together catchy sing a long tunes, a gift many songwriters struggle with. And this song is another example of his exploits. After the first listen of the chorus you can tell it's a hit.

Noels lyric writing has also seemed to have matured with age and there are a couple of great lines in the song, mixed together with the cliché rhyming of obvious lyrics that Oasis became so familiar by. Noel was to most Oasis fans, the talent and brains behind the band, where as Liam was the Rock n Roll focal point of the band. They will be missed as a combination but Noel could help us forget if he carries on producing songs of this ilk.

Scams - Helicopter Parents

Released on 22nd August; ‘Helicoper Parents’ is the new single from indie band Scams. Based in Leeds, not only are they popular in the Leeds live gig circuit, the band have already played SXSW in Texas and recently returned from a stint in Europe with New Politics.

Veering towards the rock end of the ‘indie’ spectrum, ‘Helicopter Parents’ has all the ingredients to be an indie anthem - a powerful, angsty track with lots of percussion, catchy guitar riffs and the ever important addictive chorus. Lead singer, Andy Morgan, has a punch and a passion in his voice that gives the track a slight emo vibe. With an air of The Automatic and early Lost Prophets, this single has that bite to it that has been missing from guitar bands of late.

Their next big event is the Reeper Bahn Festival in Hamburg in September. Here they will be playing with the likes of Friendly Fires, EMA, Alessis Ark and a whole host of new exciting bands.  Scams are running a competition on their Facebook page, the prize being entry to Reeper Bahn Festival with flights and accommodation. Find out more by clicking here.

We look forward to hearing more from this band and wish them luck with the single release!

Hello Goodluck Jonathan ..

On first glance you could definitely pigeon hole this band, however on 2nd and 3rd glance you may realise that any judgement you had made about this band may just be completely wrong.

We first watched the Video for Broken Heart and although intrigued we automatically thought 'here we go, we've heard it all before' ...however after giving it our full attention and receiving their Debut album, we realised how buffin wrong we were! 

This album is not anything completely new in terms of sound but that doesn't mean to say it is not a good debut. Starting off with 'Bruises Disappear', you're pulled into the huge sound with a full on heavy bass and drum beat with guitars soaring, yet this is not the premise for the whole album, each song is its own entity and you can definitely hear that it is the creation of individuals with different influences, which when brought together binds effortlessly. There are hints of some of our favourite bands, such as Foals (earlier stuff), and At the Drive In too so if you're fans of these its a double buffin bonus!


The album 'This Is Our Way Out' is out now, so go buy it buffers, we reckon you'll like it. In the meantime, watch the video for Broken Heart below - and as always let us know what you think!

Suns dance & Moons shine

So we've been pretty lucky this year with the sunshine - maybe its because we've been playing this?


This song 'Set Sail' by Tin Roots is released on the bands EP on 20 July 2011. More information here buffers - let us know what you think :)

BUFF PLUGS!

Hhhmmmmm right we been running riot over the weekend at The Electric Proms, stealing guitars, life coaching backing singers and reluctantly refraining from pushing Johnny Borrell off the stage during sound check...

Now we're back and we're looking forward to having a buff load of drinks tomorrow at The Garratt! THE UNSTOPPABLE TEAM are playing an electric set there...could be mistaken but think they're the only band and have free reign to do what ever they want for as long as they want! And best of all its FREE - so come down and GET DRUNK and have buff around on a Weds evening!

MISS YOU SOOO
SEE YOU
WEDS NIGHT
FROM 9PM
AT
THE GARRATT (BY 5TH AVE)
MANCHESTER

BUFF LOVE!!!!!
