Unsigned Bands: Buffalo Roam

Buffalo Roam

Buffalo Roam is a melodic and psychedelic infused rock band that draws comparisons to Echo and the Bunnymen, Pink Floyd, and The Replacements.  In their short time together, the Los Angeles based band has released a self titled EP and now a full-length album, “The Gerry Record” which will be released in March 2007.

The three figures behind “The Gerry Record” are Greg Evanski, James Stein and lyricist Gerald Evanski.  The record is full of haunting tales of deceit, love, and criminal lore. Sonically, the album is lush and rich, with clean tones and acoustic based numbers that flow effortlessly.

“Yup Yes Yeah,” is a low rocker about a man who lacks self-confidence.  Stein’s voice whispers and flows until the staccato chorus kicks in. “Kelly Where Are You”, is a tale of a stalker that drives on from verse to chorus with Evanski’s guitar being a true melodic force on the track. “Oh Wow,” an Americana feeling track about a date between two friends that goes wrong, features a galloping acoustic guitar that provides the bedding, while the chorus releases the angst from tension filled verses.  

Buffalo Roam’s live shows have garnered great reviews as they build their fan base across California playing venues such as Spaceland, Hotel Café, Silverlake Lounge, The Casbah and The Beauty Bar. With a recent film placement in All The Boys Love Mandy Lane, a national distribution deal and constant touring in 2007, Buffalo Roam is committed to expanding their fan base and building a solid career.

James Stein (vocals), Greg Evanski (guitar), Fred Spieglman (bass) and Pete McNeal (drums-Former member of Cake, Micheal Andrews, M.Doughtey)
