Boston's alternative rock trio Buffalo Tom emerged from the same era that gifted us Dinosaur Jr, The Afghan Whigs, and The Lemonheads, but it would be unfair to simply lump their uniquely emotive sound in with anyone else. On the back of releasing a new album, the band have announced reissues of three of their best love early 90s records; 1990's Birdbrain, 1992's Let Me Come Over, and the 1993 album Big Red Letter Day. - Flying Out
Buffalo Tom (Bill Janovitz, Chris Colbourn and Tom Maginnis) formed at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1984 - a breeding ground of post punk guitar bands like Dinosaur Jr. and Pixies. The three longstanding bandmates recognize the achievement of their longevity as a creative unit. Initially offering a raw, propulsive sound that emphasized Janovitz’s imposing guitar squall, Buffalo Tom’s early approach gave way to a more melodic, yet no less distinctive, style. They have released ten studio albums and their most recent, Jump Rope, was released earlier this year.
Released in 1993, Big Red Letter Day found the band doing what they do very well indeed, but with more body and gloss to the production. The album was recorded in LA by The Robb Brothers and features numerous favorites, in particular: Sodajerk, I’m Allowed, Treehouse and the classic Late At Night.
