About Me

The Buckners play a brand of guitar pop that is both smart and powerful, with a few quirks thrown in for good measure. The group has played countless shows throughout the Northeast in the past few years, and fans old and new are psyched about the band’s latest EP "See You in Court." Memorable, sing-along melodies, strong harmonies, and contrasting guitar parts are always prominent. The band's rhythm section is versatile enough to offer a light touch for “jangle-pop” tunes, but can up the ante when needed for "bigger" rock songs. The Buckners write clever and sometimes poignant lyrics without relying on tired vocabulary. Overall, the band has embraced references to artists including They Might Be Giants, Weezer, and the Meat Puppets.
