Bite The Buffalo

Bite The Buffalo

Bite The Buffalo is a two-piece rock band made up of two brothers who are born and raised in Zambia and later relocate to the UK. The group uses a drum-and-guitar line-up with lead vocals shared in the style of a two-piece, and their sound is associated with classic rock, rock, alternative rock and garage rock.

Background and style

The band draws attention for combining a stripped-back format with energetic live performance. Their recordings are described as lo-fi but tight, with strong guitar riffs, hard-hitting drumming and vocals that carry a Zambian accent blended with British inflection. Their setup and sound invite comparison with other two-piece rock acts, while their own identity is tied to their sibling relationship and shared background.

Recorded work and live reputation

An EP by the group presents them as a studio act with a professional recording, despite the rough-edged garage rock character of the material. The recording is noted for capturing the energy of their live shows, which are described as forceful and lively. Their musicianship is presented as a key part of the appeal, especially given the demands of playing as a two-piece without bass guitar.
