Wah wah guitars, vocals redolent of the American South, healthy doses of sixties Britain and lots of strut form the basis for the sound of Buffalo Killers' self-titled debut on Alive. The band is made up of two former members of Thee Shams and Andrew Gabbard, whose slide and wah-wah guitar leads are absolutely killer.
Featuring brilliant engineering and production by John Curley, whose credits include Afghan Whigs, Buffalo Killers will be of great interest to fans of bluesy drug-rock with an attitude. As far as references go, the label mentions Buffalo Springfield and Blue Cheer; I'm tempted to also mention The Beatles, Black Crowes, The Stones and Skynyrd. Nice stuff.
