About Me

its a buffalo is the sound of 4 young men. Ben Thorley sings and plays geetar. So does Steven Warburton. James Cole plucks his bass and Nigel Bennett bangs his drums. Sometimes they tune up and do this in time with each other, it sounds great.Ben and Steve found each other simultaneously, they both had guitars and songs. Then James popped around to their place to hear the songs, he liked 'em. Nigel fancied hitting things along to these songs. So he did.The boys then signed up to Manchester's very own Akoustik Anarkhy records. They released two singles, played a heroic amount of gigs, and have started recording a debut album. They now have a van.
