READ THE REVIEW OF 'A FAMILY LIGHT' BY THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE HERE

"...an album that weaves heartbreaking tales and thoughtful musicianship with folk, country and indie-rock ideas to create an electric, exciting collection of songs"
- Sara Cress, The Houston Chronicle

READ THE REVIEW OF 'A FAMILY LIGHT' BY THE HOUSTON PRESS HERE

"Simply put, this album's a stunner...the band has an all-too-rare sense of dynamics and knack for strong choruses and male-female, call-and-response vocals." - John Nova Lomax - Houston Press

READ OUR INTERVIEW WITH SPACE CITY ROCK HERE

"Straight out of LaPorte, out in the Houston 'burbs, comes some of the coolest mostly-acoustic music you're likely to hear this side of Austin. Buxton are one of a small handful of indie-folk bands in town who've taken the current folk idiom and pulled it backwards to an earlier time, and they're one of the best around, for my money, in or out of Houston." - Space City Rock

READ THE INTERVIEW / REVIEW OF 'RED FOLLOWS RED' BY THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE HERE

"What they ended up with on last year's release, Red Follows Red, is a rambling pretty library of stories anchored by Trevino's startling warble and Willis' twee plucking."
- Sara Cress, The Houston Chronicle
