This time of year always makes me feel like listening to one of my favorite bands, Buffalo Tom, a semi-obscure alternative rock group from Boston. Not only did Buffalo Tom play a large role in one of my favorite television series, My So-Called Life, but they also put down a track on the School House Rock! Rocks album, “Lolly Lolly Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here.” Let’s just put it this way, if any of my dear friends are reading this, put Buffalo Tom in your mental filing cabinet of “bands I’d love to see live.” Their shows are quite rare to come by these days.
If you’re in the market for some new music, check out their video, and download some of their other songs. I recommend anything off their 1993 album, Big Red Letter Day: namely, “Sodajerk” and my favorite BT song, “Late at Night.” Their sound is a combination of: Dinosaur Jr., The Replacements, and Blind Melon. If you’re looking for feel-good ’90s with lyrics that make you think, Buffalo Tom is worthy of your ears.
