Buffalo Tom- T-Shirt

Buffalo Tom is an American alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, formed in 1986. The band consists of guitarist and vocalist Bill Janovitz, bassist and vocalist Chris Colbourn, and drummer Tom Maginnis. Known for their melodic sound and introspective lyrics, they have often been compared to contemporaries such as Dinosaur Jr., with whom they share a connection through producer and friend J Mascis.

The band members met while attending the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where they formed Buffalo Tom. They gained early support from J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., who helped produce their first two albums. Their self-titled debut album, "Buffalo Tom" (1988), established their presence in the alternative rock scene. The follow-up album, "Birdbrain" (1990), continued to build their reputation with a rougher, more raw sound.

"Let Me Come Over" (1992) included the hit single "Taillights Fade" and marked their breakthrough, gaining wider recognition. "Big Red Letter Day" (1993) is known for its polished production and more accessible sound, producing hits like "Sodajerk." "Sleepy Eyed" (1995) showcased a return to their earlier, grittier sound, while "Smitten" (1998) featured a more mature sound, becoming their sixth album before an extended hiatus.

After "Smitten," the band took a break from recording and touring, with members pursuing individual projects. They reunited in the mid-2000s and released new material, including "Three Easy Pieces" (2007), which marked their return with a blend of old and new sounds. "Skins" (2011) continued their resurgence with reflective songwriting, and "Quiet and Peace" (2018) showcased their longevity and consistent quality.

Buffalo Tom's music has been featured in various films and TV shows, contributing to their lasting influence on the alternative rock genre. They are praised for their emotionally resonant lyrics, compelling melodies, and the chemistry among the band members that has sustained their career over three decades.
