A primer on Blues-Rock 101: listen and learn. Alive Records is a terrific label, a powerhouse of roots-rock and muddy, murky electric blues. This compilation of live tracks is culled from performances at the 2012 Deep Blues Fest in Bayport, MN, and it serves as a nice showcase for some of the label's premiere bands. John the Conqueror shreds mercilessly on standout track "Three More", while Radio Moscow tears it up with plenty of wah-wah and deep fuzz on both "Hold On Me"...

Earlier this summer Chris Johnson (owner of Bayport BBQ in the Twin Cities' suburb of Bayport, MN) resurrected his popular Deep Blues Festival for three glorious (sold-out) days of great music, Southern-style BBQ and camaraderie between musicians, fans and friends alike. Far from the corporate sterility of many larger modern music fests, Johnson's Deep Blues Fest instead successfully revived the communal spirit of late '60s and early '70s music gatherings, evoking the vibe of a large summer picnic with family, friends, good food and great music.

Cincinnati’s Buffalo Killers hail psychedelic blues rock in their fourth labor of love, “Dig. Sow. Love. Grow.” The trio of bearded rockers pump out some fantastic midwestern swagger in this release, drawing on rock legends but never coming close to a copycat band. Their sound is authentic, raw, unashamed, and at times gritty. At first listen, I instantly thought of the Black Keys, and likes of The Dead Weather or Band of Skulls. The first song on the album, “Get it,” is pure grunge-y goodness at its finest; it’s powerful, raucous, and commanding. Next up is “Hey Girl,” [...]

Dig. Sow. Love. Grow’ is the latest release from Cincinnati 3-piece, Buffalo Killers, on their fourth album the band continue to mine the rich seam of rock, blues, psychedelia and heavy soul - the clues in cover, what's not to like?

BUFFALO KILLERS | DIG . SOW . LOVE . GROW ALIVE Cincinnati-based rock band Buffalo Killers released their fourth album, Dig. Sow. Love. Grow. The trio, which is comprised of brothers Zach (bass, vocals) and Andrew Gabbard (guitar, vocals) as well as Joey Sebaali (percussion), ventures further away from their early 70’s Laurel Canyon sound. Like on 3 , they are pursuing more rock than psychedelia, folding in bolder lines of blues and garage rock. Standouts [...]

Buffalo Killers Dig. Sow. Love. Grow. Alive Natural Sound Records [2012] Fire Note Says: A warm 70's rock sound has never felt so modern on the excellent fourth long player from the Buffalo Killers! Album Review: Right from the opening heavy blues rock on first track "Get It" you know that Cincinnati's Buffalo Killers are back in full force on their fourth long player Dig. Sow. [...]
Buffalo Killers sound just as American as their name. Brothers Zachary and Andrew Gabbard, plus Joseph Sebaali, bring the full-force blues rock. "Get It," off Dig. Sow. Love. Grow. (out August 7 via Alive Naturalsound), is gritty, loud and will no doubt beg the comparison to a handful of contemporary blues-rock bands like former tourmates [...]

Buffalo Killers - Hey Girl Buffalo Killers are sharing up another track from their forthcoming record, Dig. Sow. Love. Grow., a slow burner of a track that lays somewhere between 702s rock and a tab of acid. It's a cool jam and its starting to feel like this new album is gonna be quite a good album. Dig. Sow. Love. Grow. will hit shelves Aug. 7 via Alive Naturalsound Records.
On Buffalo Killers' fourth full-length effort Dig. Sow. Love. Grow. the Ohio-based trio have created an album that stampedes with the ferocity of their first two albums (the Dan Auerbach-produced Let It Ride from 2008 and their self-titled debut from two years prior), yet it also incorporates much of the loose, organic nature from last [...]
Filed under: News , New Music , New Releases Erin Volk Buffalo Killers have long hair, beards and a wonderful new tune "Hey Girl" that harkens back to '60s psychedelia, CSNY hooks and lava-lamp love. Even though the song possesses a delightfully flowery vibe, "Hey Girl" packs a delicious punch that's filled with more than your average acid tablets. The Cincinnati band's new single has a hell of a lot [...]
