Buckra

Buckra is a four piece of road happy, live music playing crazy bastards from Cincinnati, OH. We 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 other people have to say about us. "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.

Rising from the gloom of America's Bible Belt (Cincinnati, Ohio), Buckra is anything but Bible thumpers. Nah, these guys trudge through the layers of bullshit and grab at the heart and soul of music, leaving what's left over for the less enthusiastic musicians to dig through. Not versed in sophistication, this is a majestic project that wallows in the glorious world of back woods brawls and beers.

Their live shows are hailed as jumpin' jivin' good times, and you may even have to pop some uppers in order to keep up with their reckless nature. But hey, do whatcha gotta do to make it through!"
Rachel Heisler (Pitch Perfect Reviews)

"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)

"musical playfulness that could bring a smile to the face of even the most bitter music snob."
Mike Breen (City Beat)

"Cincinnati's foursome Buckra gives a wild kick and a spit in the eye to any sense of normalcy in the pop rock world."
(Music Morsels)
