"Cincinnati's Buckra are the kind of band who understand that tonight
is way more important than tomorrow.
In other words, this is not the
kind of outfit who'll pack it in early - these guys will close the bar,
wear out college students and drive home happily by dawn. Put together
with sly humor, swinging swagger
and true rock and roll nerve" - Alex Green (Caught in the Carousel)
Buckra is a four piece of road happy, live music playing crazy, musical maestros from Cincinnati, Ohio. This talented, frenetic, fast-rising foursome have recorded 3 full length CD's, 2 Ep's, and played over 400 gigs from one side of the county to the next. Here is what people have to say:
"Admit it - in this ever-evolving, always advancing world, music doesn’t always keep up the way we think it should. But Buckra, with its swinging grooves and rockabilly/old school virtuosity, knocks the half-hearted bands off the stage
and into the wings."
- Rachel Heisler (Pitch Perfect Reviews)
Rising from the gloom of America’s Bible Belt (Cincinnati, Ohio), Buckra has developed their own musical vision. These musicians are on a a quest to grab at the heart and soul of music, They've left behind the static lyrics, stale rhythms and predictable conventions of their peers. The sizzling guitar work rides on top of a throbbing, thriving rhythmic groove, and lyrics delivered with equal portions of punk and funk. Try to sit still.
