Insisting that your name is its a buffalo - all lower case with no apostrophe - doesn't generally get you off to a good start with editors. It just makes you look rather silly and puts you in a position from where you'll be playing catch-up from there on in. So its a buffalo had better be damned good.
Irritatingly, they are. Catchy, fun, knee-up country punks with a summery, hoe-down mentality that enables you to imagine them dancing barefoot in fields of corn in dungarees, with banjos and mandolins and that type of nonsense. They don't quite deserve to compare themselves to "the stones (sic) jamming with Dylan", or "Let It Be-era Beatles" (they're neither good nor bluesy enough for either comparison) but there's a nice Monkees-esque quality to their double A-side release that does owe a debt to the '60s somewhere along the line.
If they could just drop the annoying disrespect for grammar, stop swearing and stop comparing themselves to such luminaries as The Stones, Dylan, The Beatles and Johnny Cash, you may be able to stop hearing public schoolboys trying to sound oh-so-hip and give them the benefit of the doubt that they are in fact a half decent country-pop band.
