SEE WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT THE BUFFALO KILLERS
"Heavy on the heavy and with plenty of hooks" - High Times
"There's something in the water in Ohio, and Buffalo
Killers have sucked it down and are ready to share it far and wide" Hittin' The Note
"The Cincinnati group keeps evolving into something bigger and with their last several releases they have established themselves as an act to follow." - The Fire Note
"They're Chris Robinson-endorsed and definitely have that rootsy sway of The
Black Crowes at their finest - but there's a stomp and a stamp that Buffalo
Killers have produced that is all their own." - Off The Tracks
"Buffalo
Killers take aim at garage, swamp blues, '60s psych, Canyon harmonies and Southern roots and land their prey every time." - Nigel Williamson / UNCUT
"Golden nostalgic bliss…Cincinnati's incredible Buffalo
Killers will show you exactly where
Kings of Leon went wrong." - Chris Deville / THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
"Not many bands have mined a late hippie-era approach with more satisfying results." - Mark Deming / ALL MUSIC
"Big riffs rule, and at no time more than the '70s did they dominate the airwaves. Cincinnati's Buffalo
Killers evoke the blurry Polaroid sounds of those years, grooving like Foghat one minute, recalling the melodic gold of Badfinger another, and utterly, unironically rocking like ZZ Top. There's nothing quite as simple and effective as a "'power trio.' The three were members of the dearly departed garage rock outfit Thee Shams, but Buffalo
Killers isn't three chord frat rock at all. The songs are thick and greasy, and listening to the trio live, you can see why they've made fans of The
Black Keys and The
Black Crows." - Jason Woodbury / PHOENIX NEW TIMES
"Buffalo
Killers definitely have a cool Joe Walsh/James Gang influence in their sound. I dig 'em." -
Alice Cooper / NIGHTS WITH ALICE COOPER
"Cincinnati trio Buffalo
Killers find that drawing from '60s and '70s rock icons continues to provide fresh ideas filled with a tunefulness and musical vocabulary that is indebted to rock's golden era with a refreshing vibrancy." - Kyle Melton / DAYTON CITY PAPER
