This record left our Brian feeling happy.

It's a Buffalo are from Manchester and strip indie music back to it's bare essentials on new single 'Marbles', spilling with crisp chiming lead guitar, a rambling rhythm guitar, and sprightly twin pronged vocal harmonies. That topped with robust, energetic drums makes for very enjoyable listening. They've got a pure spirited energy these lads, a subtle anthemic folky-ness- they share that same "streets" essence as Twisted Wheel without the spit & sawdust hooliganisms. Both tracks on this new single are really good, anthemic & catchy with plenty of soul, no dodgy haircuts & retro synths for this bunch. 7" only thru Akoustik Anarkhy.

What their label says...

"Curious, Melodic Fun - an Akoustik Anarkhy trademark - from this mysterious Manchester quartet. Upbeat pop with a lo-fi, alt-country deliverance." Flux

After two sold out 7" singles of early recordings, Marbles is the first track to be taken from the forthcoming debut album ’Don’t Be Scared’ (released in March next year.) It’s been a busy year for the Mancunian four-piece interspersing album sessions with extensive touring as support for The Courteeners.

Marbles is a live favourite and a total earworm, with its chiming guitar riff and shout along chorus about, well, losing your marbles. Loud, lo-fi and utterly irresistible, it’s the perfect example of its a buffalo’s alt-country tinged take on Mancunian anthemia.

Flip-side Belt Me in the Back is a cock-eyedcountry ramble punctuated with off beat drums. Opening as aslow burner it comes to life with its shouty, acapella chorus’s mined from the same seam as the local colliery - rough and ready and sprawling with melody. 300 only.
