A breath of fresh air in music.

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 15, 2001

Without a doubt, The Buzz Poets are five of the most talented musicians to emerge into the rock scene in a long time. As yet still unsigned to a major label, one has to admire that this is purely by thier own choice, to achieve a feat rarely attempte...d by a serious rock band - do busines intelligently, thier own way, and in thier own time.Upon listening to all of thier albums in sequential order, one can hear how amazingly far they have come, and how original and tight a band they currently stand. Thier hard work and strict attention to every musical detail is evident in each well-honed chord at every numerous high-energy show. Featuring a scarcely seen lineup (two incredibly talented lead vocalists/
guitarists/
songwriters) the Buzz Poets also treat your ears and eyes to a fast, flawless and creative drummer, a keyboard and turntable maestro, and one of the most amazing bassists you'll likely ever hear.Musically, your treated to some of the finest original music around: catchy, driving rock; powerful & encompasing ballads; and some hilariously fun parodies. Check out any of thier many live shows and you'll experiance some kick-ass Sublime and Marley covers as well.In fact, you owe it to yourself to attend SEVERAL Buzz Poets shows if you've never seen them live. If you're lucky, you may even catch a rare surprise: The Dancing Dentist! (You'd have to see it to believe it!)Some other excellent local bands I highly recommend (either as special guests of the Buzz Poets or at thier own shows) are New Invisible Joy, Pleasure Technicians & Voodoo Babies. In closing, I would like to thank The Buzz Poets for some of the best music I've ever heard and some of the best times I've ever had out in the public club scene. Without a doubt, you will be the guys who put Pittsburgh on the map. Read more Less
