Buxton are a five piece indie-folk band from Houston, TX, whose latest album Nothing Here Seems Strange gets released via New West Records. You can watch their lyrics video below for their first single from the album “Boy of Nine”.
Buxton’s music will has a familar feel that borders on the homegrown front, they have a great energy that you expect from a band that frequently jams for the hell of it because they all share a mutual bond or chemistry. They don’t over exude themselves but remain true as well as keeping that slight eccentricity that gives them appeal from the mainstream totems. The whole package is sewn together with prominent lush harmonies over guitar, banjo, keyboards and drums to form a great marriage of sound…they will of course go down a treat on Folk Radio UK.
The alchemists at play are led by Sergio Trevino on Vocals/Guitar with Jason Willis on lead Guitar/Mandolin, Chris Wise on Bass Guitar, Justin Terrell on Drums and Austin Sepulvado on Guitar/Vocals. Hayley Barnes often joins the group on keyboard and harmony vocals. The band, with two self-released albums, is already garnerating critical praise from the US press, the Houston Press declaring “Simply put, these guys are getting ridiculously good.”
