Buffalo Tom

About

Buffalo Tom is an American alternative rock band from Boston, formed in 1986 by Bill Janovitz (guitar/vocals), Chris Colbourn (bass/vocals) and Tom Maginnis (drums), who met as students at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Their melodic yet guitar-driven sound earned them a devoted following in the early 1990s, with "Let Me Come Over" (1992) widely regarded as their landmark album. After a lengthy hiatus, the band returned in 2007 and have continued recording, releasing their tenth studio album "Jump Rope" in 2024 on their own Scrawny Records.
