Wounded Buffalo Theory

Wounded Buffalo Theory is a progressive/psychedelic post rock band from Brooklyn, New York, comprised of John Blanton (vocals/guitar/keyboards), Jay Cowit (vocals/drums), Rob Malko (vocals/bass/keyboards) and Kurt Leege (guitars/vocals). Since forming in 2002, the band has independently released 9 albums and holds a reputation for dark, explosive live performances, relying equally on improvisation as much as understanding the essence of a composition. Lyrically, the band mixes existential nightmares with transcendental views of humanity, along with some very dry wit, showcasing complex harmonies and soaring lead vocals. Underneath is a vast musical landscape showcasing a pulsating, massive rhythm battery, and intricate, layered dual guitars. At its loudest, the band may remind some of A Place to Bury Strangers, ...Trail of Dead, and Tool; however the band has always retained its love of ambient interludes reminiscent of Brian Eno, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, and Robert Fripp.
