Some Recent Press
"London based White Buffalo are a storming
band with energy, drive and leanings towards Pearl Jam, Lynyrd Skynrd
and Nirvana. High echelon comparisons but I can assure you they
are that good. Excellent vocals and melody that would not be out
of place in any size venue in front of any rock crowd; Phil, Hossi
and Evan come together in fine fashion to create something very
special." CRS on "Waiting
To Go Home" album.
"Waiting For The Big Time: Hearing White
Buffalo live is an essential experience. The band is quite simply
one of the best live acts around and its new CD 'Waiting To Go Home'
is an excellent refelction of the diversity of this London based
three piece. For those looking to replace
overplayed Nickelback, Coldplay and Chili Peppers albums, look no
further. White Buffalo's long awaited album kicks into touch the
wave of annoying 'youth' rockers by showing them exactly how it's
done. From the Nirvana-esque 'All Or Nothing' through to the expertly
crafted secret track, 'Waiting To Go Home' takes the listener on
a roller coaster ride rising to explosive guitar tracks and dipping
to quiet piano ballads. Phil Campbell's gravelly vocals carry the
powerful melodies superbly and this album is so well produced and
mixed that the only way you will hear better music is to see WB
live! If you buy one rock album this year make it this one. *****"

"Astounding stuff
a unique urgency,
vitality, passion, and openness
one of the finest and most
versatile rock voices around today, while the band's diverse and
intimate songwriting is peerless. White Buffalo deserve the sort
of electronic media attention devoted to the likes of Coldplay and
other hyped bands. Brilliant melody, wonderful lyrics and one of
the finest rock vocal and instrumental performances I have heard
on record this year. Essential. 5/5." www.shakenstir.co.uk
on "Waiting To Go Home" album.
"A world away from the mass media's over-riding
continual obsession with Pop Idol fare
White Buffalo are -
shock horror - a rock band simmering with feeling and emotion. Deep
felt passion from front man Campbell, well rounded backing that
rises and falls around him, setting and matching the mood. A mix
that stirs and soothes the soul
could easily lead to fame
and fortune, major label status beckons." Q
Sheet, 'Rhodes Rave' Single of the month ("Porcelain Skin")
"Who the f*ck are White Buffalo, I hear
you ask? Unsigned and hence unknown to many, this show saw me struck
in the nuts with no relief until the siren sounded. Their bootleg
has since quickly risen to sit alongside U2 at the top of the tape
stack. There have been comparisons made to Tom Petty, but as the
Heartbreakers go freefalling into oblivion after two songs, White
Buffalo have a full set and then some of impressively rounded air
guitar-worthy rock. They're here for good. Sean
McFerran in SX

"I don't know why but it sounds like it
could be a big hit in Ireland. I can hear a Dylan influence. It's
a grower, but once it gets you, it refuses to let go." Graham
Clark (Maximum FM) on "Porcelain Skin"
"It feels faintly ridiculous to review
the London trio in a demo column, as Grammy winner Matt Howe produces
them. But, surely only because they look all old, and unfashionable
on the sleeve, it's more absurd that they're unsigned. Powerful
grunge in the Stone Temple Pilots mould, theirs remains a sound
crying out for wider attention. 4/5" Channel
