After playing in other local bands for years, Justin John Smith (guitar, lead vocals), James Warren (bass guitar, vocals), Ian Belknap (drums, vocals) and Tyler Skelton (guitar, horn, keys, vocals) joined forces in 2011 to form Aircraft. Hard work and the release first album, Sonic Boom, last April have kept local fans and music blogs buzzing, and the band doesn't plan on slowing down any time soo
Local music fans are lucky. We have a constant stream of solid new bands forming in Buffalo to help quench our thirst for good music, and Marine Biologist is one of them.
After forming in 2007, local rock band Son of the Sun became a band to watch with the release of their first EP in 2008. The group's fan base continued to grow both locally and across the East Coast with the release of their first full-length album, The Happy Loss, in 2010.
The Albrights has been a band to watch since forming in 2009. Brandon Barry (guitar, vocals), Joe Donohue (piano, vocals). Matthew Crane (bass, vocals), and Dustin Herzberger (drums, percussion) work hard to share their music and welcome new fans by staying active in Buffalo's music, art and theater communities.
I was chilling out on my porch last night, perusing the latest issue of 'Relix' magazine (the first in a rather large stack of magazines I need to catch up on. #SummerInBuffaloProblems...but I digress) when I spotted a familiar name.
